One from the archives, Peter Andre from the first time he was famous




Whilst digging through our archives for something else! We came across this nugget of social history. The year was 1996, and the place was Crawley leisure center! Peter Andre was at No1 (it was the nineties, remember) and I think the tour had been booked well before the record was released. With all the trampolines pushed down one and of the sports hall, Peter Andre played for a Springsteen esque 20 mins! Other notables on the Smash Hits tour of Crawley included 911. Ultimate Kaos, Code Red, Blair and Damage.

The Cutting here is from top music journal, the Surrey Mirror newspaper. My overwhelming memory of shooting these pictures was the screaming from the teenage girls in the audience, which it was latter explained to me, was for the future Mr Price and not for me!

Famous again!


Fame again!


Shoot a few years back as part of a series of images about what not to do while driving.


Normally in the course of my commercial photography, I like to stay behind the camera. When needs must I'm prepared to be the model instead of the photographer.

Photos for Websites, Blogs, and Social networks

Do you need to project a friendly professional image on the net?




Instead of using a cropped head shot from last years christmas party, why not commission a portrait and represent yourself in a more professional way.


Personal trainer Mark Tipping wanted to add to his already well designed website by including a more significant portrait. We shoot a series of pictures relevant to various areas of his business for use on the web. He will also be using one of the pictures from the session in his article for his local newspaper column on Personal Fitness.
