Services
Customer focus is key, hence the reason I offer a free re-shoot policy (I've not had to honour this yet) should you not be happy with the first results. Listening is the best approach I feel, so I'm happy to have clients shadow me whilst we create the shots they/you want. Otherwise, there's no creative partnership, and ultimately, this is what a photoshoot is about.
Business portrait photography includes corporate "meet the team" portraits, LinkedIn and more. Each shoot is carried out with a relaxed approach based on listening to your requirements rather than directing you into an unnatural state. I might give you some direction but the essence of the photograph is you and your personality.
Having photographed beautiful houses, hotels, offices and resorts around the world, I have extensive experience in interiors photography. I use the world's widest-angle lens to capture the breadth of a space, so you can see an entire room without distortion in a single photograph.
Whether you're promoting your architectural services, advertising your hotel, selling your property or showing off your latest interior designs, I can help you capture the fine details and overall vision of your project.

An event's specialist focusing on large scale events, whether you have 5000 or 25 delegates, I provide full coverage. Podium shots, group shots, awards, branding, printing, on-site uploading for immediate release and use on Social Media and future Marketing. A photo booth works for some but candid pictures, interactive networking pictures seems to be a standard.
Whether you're after a simple explainer film, a series of interviews with B-roll footage to better explain your products and services, drone aerial footage thrown in for good measure, or giffs, stop-motion or time-lapse clips for your content campaign for social media platforms, we can do it all. We also write, perform and record all the original music so you don't end up with standard stock tunes playing throughout your film.

I have worked with John for over ten years, employing him to photograph conferences. He is very professional, helpful and pleasant to work with. John's photos are superb and he always turns round the editing quickly, even for a five day event. I would have no hesitation to recommend John to anyone.

I've had the pleasure of working with John a few times - most recently for a fashion shoot where I needed countless images and a tethered shoot so I could immediately assess the work. John was brilliantly professional and provided excellent results in a very quick turn around.

John took photos of myself and my wife for our respective businesses, we found him to be professional, enthusiastic and easy to work with. The finished photographs more than met our expectations, he even managed to achieve the impossible and make me look good in a photo ;-). We would not hesitate to use John again should the need arise.
