CP Rizwan, UAE Cricket Captain

I was asked by the National Newspaper to follow Paul Radley, cricket journalist and author of Playing To Fix to the heart of the Cotswolds to cover a story on CP Rizwan, the former captain of the UAE T20 team.

CP was turning out as a pro for Hatherley and Reddings CC at Dumbleton CC. Paul went to see how his experience differed from the cut and thrust of International franchise cricket.

The Cotswolds is where I grew up and played village cricket, though for me think of the BBC’s ‘This Country’ with added Findus Crispy Pancakes, rather than this Chocolate Box Cotswolds, an idyllic location sometimes mentioned as one of the most beautiful grounds in the country.

Thanks to Scott Chasserot for the commission and to Paul and CP for the scones, sandwiches and endless cricket chat!

Wormholes

Through mutual friends a couple of years ago I was recommended to shoot profile pictures for writer Emily Jupp. Now she has just finished a run at the Omnibus Theatre in Clapham with her play, Wormholes.

Directed by Scott Le Crass and starring the brilliant Victoria Yeates, the one woman show was a massive success and received great reviews.

Wormholes has been nominated for two categories in this year's @offwestendcom awards, Emily for best new play and Victoria for best lead performer in a play.

Here are a selection of images; of Emily, Victoria, from the play and the press night. .

Jodie Kidd and the KIA EV9

Stills shoot accompanying the promotion of KIA’s newest electric launch.


The World Class Jodie Kidd for the promotion of KIA’s new electric vehicle, the EV9. It was an absolute pleasure to photograph Jodie - she was the perfect professional and made the whole day so enjoyable. Many thanks to Henry Warrington at Third City and Tom Richards at KIA for the commission, Tori Ball for hair and make up, Liesa Miller for Styling and Joe Conway for his brilliant assistance. Shot at Big Sky Studios.

Remembering 1966 - Norman Jay MBE, Saga and Zinc Media

Stills to accompany Saga’short films leading up to last year’s World Cup.

Nothing makes me happier than spending a few days discussing Pies, Subbuteo and the terror of attending an Edinburgh Derby in 1986, so hopefully the fun I had comes through in these pictures. Thanks to the wonderful people at Zinc I was able to follow Joe Briffa around again as he composed these three short films. The legendary DJ Norman Jay MBE was interviewing, and his professionalism and sweet nature made this a joy. Day one was at Gigg Lane, home of Bury FC, sadly defunct, but hopefully soon to be resuscitated.

London Flatmates

Time Out London ran a feature on the various living arrangements in the city. I was asked to visit the participants and these are the results.
