Introduction: **PLEASE VIEW MY WEBSITE ON A COMPUTER OR iPAD FOR THE FULL VERSION!** I love shooting live—people, bands, portraits, headshots. I love my prime lenses, selective focus, found light, and use Canon, Leica & Profoto. The studio space is in Burbank (also equally happy to travel to you) and sits inside the secure Digiland complex with all it's awesome shooting areas. Honestly, I shoot for me. Even though you pay me. I offer you myself, my utmost, my best. I offer you something no-one else can offer you—me. I shoot—therefore I am. Born in England, lived in Australia, now in America. I started as a junior designer, through to senior designer and then creative director—my path winding its way through and throwing some shapes at London. I’ve directed filming at Almeria racetrack in southern Spain for a British Superbike Team, edited and re-edited in FinalCut, cast and scripted national TV commercials, photographed the Royal Air Force, created actual campaigns from concept to fruition for Mercedes-Benz UK. There isn't anything I’ve not done (attempted)—which leads me to here and Southern California. Now it’s just me and my camera(s). But I have something—I’ve been there and done it. And I know what you want.

Working with Neil was a great experience. He's very professional and makes talent feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He has a very creative eye and always captures beautiful photographs of his subjects. There's so many shots that I love from our last shoot that it's hard to choose which ones I love best! I would highly recommend booking with Neil whether you need a new headshot, fashion spread or lifestyle session.

I asked Neil to shoot photos of me working through my creative process. He was a real pleasure to work with and presented me with a stunning set of imagery. Throughout his time with me, he was patiently looking to capture the right moments and never disturbed my process, making me feel totally at ease. This produced fantastic results and exceeded my expectations!

You'll find a list of my fees on my website. Please get in touch if you have any questions about my fees or any special requests. I am always open to making up a bespoke quote depending on the circumstances, especially if the job is likely to take longer than a day.

I use trusted suppliers for printing services and Queensbury New Zealand for my Wedding Albums.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After initial contact, it is most important to set out what we need to achieve and how long it will take.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 20 years experience in the creative field - design, print and photography. I have worked for print companies, design agencies and now I have my own business with clients in both the UK and US.
