  • Sight & Scent

  • Corporate photography for a Preston-based business with a global reach Take a trip down any high street and you’ll pass at least a couple of vaping shops. What you may not think about is the science behind the products those stores stock. Xyfil is one of the UK’s top E-liquid laboratories, cr[...]
  • Event photography where the people star

  • Heading to an awards ceremony this season? Make sure the event photographer’s focusing on what really matters. I’ve covered a lot of awards ceremonies. And I’ve seen a lot of awards. Big ones. Little ones. Glass ones. Perspex ones. Ones that took pride of place in the office cabinet. And ones[...]
  • Shooting Shakespeare

  • Whatever the brief, wouldn’t it be great if your commercial photography could be repurposed and reused again and again? If your big corporate events are to make their mark, then the publicity of them needs impact. And whilst you can say a lot with a press release or a well-timed tweet, you ca[...]
  • A shout out to North West digital agencies

  • Agencies: looking for a commercial photographer who gets the brief, gets the job done and meets the deadline? I know, I know: this is a blog – hardly the place for overt touting of services.
