About Alex

I started my career in the 1990’s shooting on formats from 35mm to 5×4 sheet film. I have worked as junior press and PR photographer, conservation expedition photographer in the jungles of Central America and assisted some of the best commercial and architectural photographers at the time from studio to location. Eventually starting my own business in 2000.

Now I’m a proud father of a 11-year-old daughter, who continuously inspires creativity and playfulness. I enjoy running and exploring the beautiful North Downs in Surrey and dream of walking the Camino de Santiago. I also volunteer my photography skills to support local charities.

With 25 years as a commercial architecture and corporate portrait photographer, undertaking photoshoots throughout London, Surrey and the South East UK. I’ve captured everyone from chief executives to sports stars, nurses, and newborns. I am  committed to quality and this is reflected in my tight, graphic compositions and lighting that combines natural and flash lighting, bringing warmth and realism to each image. My work spans Annual reports, corporate marketing and communications, PR and magazine editorials.

Trusted by government departments, multinational corporations, and local businesses, my work has been featured in the Guardian, Financial Times, and BBC. Working alone or with art directors and designers, in the studio or in demanding environments, my approach is all about putting people at ease to capture the dynamic, creative brand shots you need with minimal fuss and equipment. 

I’m always eager to listen and explore ideas. Whether you need a creative collaborator, consistent, high-quality photography, or just want to brainstorm. I look forward to working with you on your next project
