I was sorry to hear the news of Terry Venables’ passing. I spent a day in his company once and if ever there was someone with a permanent twinkle in their eye, it was him! Made for a fabulous portrait too. RIP, Sir #TerryVenables #portrait #portraitphotographer

I was back on the Isle of Man recently, working at the press launch for this year's Isle of Man TT Races. I usually shoot all these guys doing about 160mph, so it was nice to grab a quiet minute for a quick portrait. I just used a black backdrop and wha… instagr.am/p/Csbf8QCIsh1/

Well what a day yesterday was! Amazing and painful in equal measure - easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The last two miles were horrendous and took me somewhere mentally that I’ve not been to before, which was interesting. I was very happy to see … instagr.am/p/CrbOggII6B3/

“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We expect there to be an unusual amount of turbulence on this flight and can anyone please tell me what this button does??” instagr.am/p/CgMhdHkKhi4/

In the studio this week, but in my mind I’m in a field at #glastonburyfestival 😎⛺️🍻 instagr.am/p/CfGuyE7qHxk/

Day off. #tt2022 instagr.am/p/CegT7c-qfKj/

Epic scenes yesterday in the new Fan Park at the @ttracesofficial. One of my fave pics of the day! Superbike race winner @hickyracer60 with @dean.harrison.3557 and @dunlop.michael making up the podium places. Cheered on by loads of sunburnt people. Who m… instagr.am/p/CecEQgVKHlf/

After three years away, it's soooo good to be back at the @ttracesofficial. The legend @jm130tt was absolutely mobbed ahead of his 100th start at the Superbike race this morning. The atmosphere on the grid was absolutely incredible! #tt2022 #IOMTT #TTli… instagr.am/p/CeZI9paKbH3/

Went to a brilliant exhibition today at the Royal Geographical Society @rgs_ibg about Ernest Shackleton and ‘the power of early Antarctic photography’. In 1914 his ship Endurance was trapped (and ultimately crushed) by pack ice whilst sailing to Antarct… instagr.am/p/CdG6sZeKulw/

Been up since 04:30 but I’m well excited to be back on my favourite island for the @ttracesofficial press launch. I’ve missed this place! #lovett #ttracesofficial #ttphotographer instagr.am/p/CcpWP1QK5Z9/

Ten points to whoever is in charge of putting the stickers on books in WHSmith... 😂 #accidentallyonpurpose instagr.am/p/CckYDEfMK3s/

A beautiful (and freeeeezing!) morning for the @londonlandmarkshalf today. London looked glorious and a brilliant event as always. Managed to raise a few quid for @cr_uk and also managed to go faster than last time, so job done! You can still donate if … instagr.am/p/Cb5f4-lsvX4/

Just had confirmation I'm going be the official commercial photographer again for the @ttracesofficial for 2022 AND 2023. I'm like a kid at Christmas today - can't wait to get started. I have so missed this marvellous madness! #isleofman #isleofmanTT #t… instagr.am/p/Cb0BB2FMnMr/

Here's another pic I love from my recent shoot with the Chelsea Pensioners. The stories these gents could (and did) tell were absolutely fascinating (and they kind of look a bit like the world's oldest boyband). Inspiring stuff. #royalhospitalchelsea #c… instagr.am/p/CaxQMIQMAkL/

Had an absolutely fascinating shoot this week. I spent two days shooting portraits of Chelsea Pensioners at the Royal Hospital. What a photogenic bunch and what incredible stories. It was a privilege to get to peek behind the curtain of all that history … instagr.am/p/CaaLGJLKGgN/

Absolutely fascinating day today, shooting portraits of Chelsea Pensioners. What a photogenic bunch and what incredible stories. Could have chatted to them for hours! Looking forward to Day 2 of it tomorrow. #royalhospitalchelsea #chelseapensioners #port… instagr.am/p/CaQQrCMKpZz/

Super-pleased to share this campaign I shot for @tmwagency and London & Partners, which is currently out in the world. Shooting all over town was fun, if not a little challenging, particularly 11pm on Shaftesbury Ave on a Friday night! Really pleased wit… instagr.am/p/CTpCRjuK3XA/
