Phoenix Healthcare distribution for Fagan Jones

Phoenix Healthcare distribution for Fagan Jones

A shoot documenting the high technology pharmaceutical facility in Preston Brook commissioned by the wonderful Vicky at film production company Fagan Jones. I was once again shooting stills alongside the exceptionally talented film cameraman Dan Lightening.

Miles and miles of robotised, computerised conveyors pick, sort and pack drugs for distribution to pharmacies around the country.

An enjoyable and very busy day that reminded me that running shoes are required equipment for photography professionals.

Mark Radcliffe for the Daily Telegraph

Mark Radcliffe is as nice in person in real life as his radio persona would suggest. Music nerd, City fan, all round good egg.

I’ve photographed him a couple of times, here in Dunham Massey country park in Cheshire with a beautiful vintage VW Beetle for a motoring feature in the Daily Telegraph.

Vietnam

In October I made my first trip to Vietnam, a country that I’ve been wanting to visit for as long as I can remember. I was attracted by the culture, the cuisine and the thought of getting away from this year’s dismally dreary ‘summer’ to a country that while it has its fair share of rainfall also has its fair share of heat. Oh and scooters…

Aaron Heinzelmann of Assa Abloy for Off the Wall, Stockholm

It was great to photograph Aaron for his employers Assa Abloy last week.

Aaron came to the aid of a mother and her seriously ill daughter while at work earning him a hero award and a feature in the company’s magazine. I'm glad to have been invited to be a part of it by Swedish agency Off the Wall. The final shot is a ‘behind the scenes’ for the rear cover of the magazine, thanks to Aaron’s Uncle Dave for sterling work on second camera duties.

The shoot was in Kenn, North Somerset so I had road trip and a stay in a holiday cottage the night before and a refreshing tea on the seafront at Clevedon before the long drive north.
