Base Creative Portraits

A series of portraits for my friends at Base Creative http://www.basecreative.eu/ a web design and online marketing company.   They needed a set of photographs to reflect the personalities of their staff and bring their website up to date.

Jo Nagasaka, 'Iro'

As part of the London Design Festival my friends at Established and Sons asked me to photograph their collaboration with architect Jo Nagasaka - Vivid Interval.  Jo is launching a stunning new collection of furniture 'Iro', investigating the relationship between translucency,  natural wood grain and colour blocking. Alongside this you can currently view another installation in which a series fluorescent lights are controlled by analogue toggle switches.

Moot Chair by Ross Lovegrove for Established and Sons.

A set of images of the Moot Chair by designer Ross Lovegrove for a brochure for Established and Sons.  The challenge here was to light the chair beautifully avoiding the reflections that it picked up from anything within a 200° range.

New Boucheron Store in Harrods.

This set of images were commissioned by Boucheron in Paris for the opening of their new store in Harrods.  Quite a privilege to work whilst surrounded by millions of pounds worth of jewellery!

Presidential Home, Regent's Park. London

It's not every day that you get asked to photograph the home of a former President.  This beautiful home in the heart of London was shot for the interior designer Nuaman Soufraki who was commissioned to totally remodel the home ready for occupation.

Bezier portrait shoot.

Brand engagement and activation agency Bezier asked me to produce a set of images that captured the unique creativity, camaraderie,  personality and team spirit of the company and it’s employees.  Over the space of two days I tried various different options,  but ultimately settled on these images. I allowed each person to show their personality in any way they chose and managed to get a striking set of images of each individual.

Bezier portrait shoot. Individual.

This is one full of the sets of images produced for brand engagement and activation agency Bezier showing how each person highlighted their individual personality.

Selfridges Birmingham

No location shoot in Birmingham would be complete without a visit to the iconic Selfridges store.  Completed in 2003 it was designed by Future Systems Architects and is covered in 15,000 spun aluminium discs on a background of Yves Klein Blue. An architectural landmark and mecca for photographers it now forms the background to my updated webstite.
