Integrating AI to create a compelling brand narrative with Procter & Gamble
Recently, one of our long-standing clients, Procter & Gamble, briefed the team on a legacy project to document the history of their aerosol plant, based in Reading, Berkshire. This was an unusual project for us, being the first time AI has been used to create the initial concept and outline. [...]
Procter & Gamble Plant – Filming manufacturing & machinery
Having run a number of events and created some sharp videos promoting the various services of their newly refurbished Reading campus our most recent project for P&G was making a film about their deodorant manufacturing plant that sends out millions of cans around the world each week.

Salesian – Back to school with my camera
In the last century I started out on my selected career at Salesian school in Chertsey. From age 14, despite being a keen photographer at that age, I set sights on being a metalwork teacher - all the tools and not much marking. The subject evolved whilst I was training [...]
Photography on the Thames with Gulmay – the hottest day in history
2022’s long hot summer of some concern, or of a great suntan depending on your scientific and political persuasions (funny how these things are so intrinsically linked these days - ‘Love Brexit? Then you’ll also hate climate change and electric cars!’ etc) reached it’s 40 degree peak in late July [...]
Capturing life-changing Stellest Myopia Treatment with Essilor
I SO love making films about products and services that make a difference to their users. It’s all very well companies saying good things about what they do, but hearing it for a third party has a reality that carries weight. Thus when Essilor, spectacle lens manufacturer, asked me to [...]
Photographing Battersea Powerstation
In 2008 we filmed on the derelict Battersea site on behalf of Samsung who had brokered a deal with a foreign investor to develop a high tech residential space full of flat screen TVs and exciting future tech. At the time the place was a bit of a wasteland. Needless [...]
More on Audley
The superlatives and stats on the Audley Square development I visit andphotograph every month continue to amaze. It’s just SO huge. The basementgoes down 30m and will be 40m, the piles go 85m, the heat pump ‘wells’ 150mor so. Every flat will have it’s own swimming pool. It’s all quite [...]
Jim the Jeep
I was introduced to Jim as one of the interview candidates for a video we were making about Green Laning - the driving of vehicles on unsurfaced roads for leisure. I am quite involved in the Green Lane Association that campaigns for continued access to these leafy and often remote [...]
Audley Square
It has been exciting to get inside views of the work taking place as photographer on what will be London's, and therefore probably the one of the world's , premium residential development. Caudwell, the eponymous property company named after John Caudwell, billionaire of Phones4U fame, asked me to shoot progress [...]
Filming with a Green Screen – love or hate?
I've never been a fan of green screen for corporate use. When I see it, I wonder why they did not make the effort to simply find a decent real background in the first place. Obviously the weather man on t'telly needs a green screen for his map, as does [...]
