It’s that time of year when photographers put together their best bits of the year past…
Instead of a selection from everything I have done, I am going to (try) and focus on just a few aspects of my year.
This first post focuses on my time photographing Mark Kermode’s monthly show at the BFI.
Some of these images I have shared previously on my instagram, some I have not….

Some very memorable guests and, for me, some very memorable conversations (for example a in depth “arty” conversation with Timothy Spall on the pains and joys of painting (he is now a serious artist with a few major exhibitions under his belt following playing Turner).
This post would not be complete without an image of Mark and a poster of his favourite film, The Exorcist. This image was not taken at the BFI, but at Frightfest where he gave a very emotional introduction to a screening of the 50th Anniversary edition following the passing of his friend and director of the film, William Friedkin.

There will be a few more 2023 round-up posts to follow over the next few days.
I am a Sussex based photographer providing imagery for the entertainment industry.
My working time is split fairly evenly between London and Sussex although I have worked all around the world; from Europe covering the BAFTA's, Glastonbury, Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, to the USA covering The Oscars.
Passing knowledge & experience on is very important to me and so I am proud to say I have served on the Board of the British Press Photographers Association, helping to improve the image and practices of working press photographers. I educate by writing a widely read “technical” blog detailing my use of Fuji cameras and other equipment as well as giving talks about Press (and other aspects of) Photography to camera clubs and groups.
