We have worked with a wide range of clients including companies, non-profit organisations, publishers, governmental agencies, the Arts Council (England) and a number of individuals. For further information please see our commissions page.
If you visit any of our galleries (linked by the images down the right hand side of this page) you’ll see that we photograph a wide range of subjects and topics in a unique and contemporary style: scenes from the Fylde Coast (in and around Blackpool), items washed up on the shore, portraits of children and adults, a range of abstract things and scenes, and a variety of other topics.
Our latest work is available on our blog, where you can see a new image each day (the last ten of which are currently being shown in the ‘recent images’ box, top-right of this page), but If you would like to see all our work please visit the thumbnails page (but do note that it takes quite some time to load).
