Filming a Goalkeeper Camp with TopCatch Goalkeeping and Kick On Academy
When TopCatch Goalkeeping and Kick On Academy invited me to film their first joint goalkeeper camp featuring Leeds United goalkeeper Alex Cairns, it combined two of my worlds perfectly.

Capturing Christmas at Gaucho Liverpool
A few weeks ago I was commission by Gaucho Liverpool to document their beautifully considered Christmas decorations both inside the restaurant and across its exterior frontage.

New Video: Behind the Scenes – Author Portrait Shoot, Gabor Szaba
I’ve just published a new behind-the-scenes video from a recent studio portrait session with author Gabor Szabo.
This shoot was part of the promotional materials for Gabor’s new book North East of Eden. The goal was to create a clean, expressive portrait that reflected the thoughtful, introspective tone of the book. We kept things simple and focussed, using controlled lighting to highlight Gabor’s features and allow his character to come through in the final image.
New Short Film: North East of Eden Book Promo
This week I published a new short promotional film created for North East of Eden, a new book by Gabor Szabo.
This was a really enjoyable project to be part of. Gabor had written a script and had a clear vision for the film—my role was to bring that to life.
