Photography for Firstsite – Exhibitions, Events & Celebrations at the Art Fund’s Museum of the Year
As someone who loves art and spending times in galleries, I’m really lucky to have Firstsite where I live and even luckier to have them as a client.

Photography for Tower Bridge – Family Activities
At the beginning of the summer holidays I was commissioned by Tower Bridge to photograph families taking part in activities in the walkway between the two towers. It was a really fun session, with the families making origami boats to add to a flotilla on the glass floor, and generally capturing the joy (and trepidation!) of families…
