2014 Highlights
A New Year, a New Blog: My 2014 was exceptionally busy, photographing and making videos for a real mix of clients in locations all over Europe. I've especially enjoyed the diversity of my work over the last 12 months. Knowing that on one day I could be shooting a wedding in an extraordinary venue, the next day in a studio doing product photography before jetting off to film Swedish ice-hockey players, means I really have to stay on my toes and keep focus (sorry!!).
As a result I produced plenty of blog worthy material but found very little time to do anything about it. It was my initial intention to post my top 10 photos. I soon realised that deciding which 10 to select would be very difficult and also a bit selfish (a photo on a hard disk is worthless if left unseen). So, in the words of George Bernard Shaw, "I'm sorry this blog is so long, I didn't have time to make it shorter". Here is a taste of some of my favourite moments of 2014:

Right, that's your lot! I can't help looking back at my selection and thinking, "Oh, I should have put that in...and what about that one...and I completely forgot all about those". However, I will endeavour to maintain this blog now an a more frequent basis! Keep your eyes peeled for my 2014 Wedding Highlights coming soon...
