About me
Gold Medal Winner at the B&W International Awards 2025, Paris - category - indoor/studio.
Images of mine have appeared on magazine covers such as Detail and Black Music Monthly. They have appeared on vinyl covers for recording artist Dee C. Lee who was in The Style Council and in Wham! with George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley.
As a teenager I started shooting with SLR cameras and had a solo exhibition of my work which made the press. I studied at University Arts London and at the London School of Photography but it was as a photographer's assistant helping photoshoot top actors in show business where I really learnt my trade (R.I.P Mike).

The Brand Photo Shoot
What is Brand Photography?
"Your brand is the single most important investment you can make in your business" Steve Forbes, Forbes Magazine
Brand photography is the creation of a suite of images representing your brand both visually and that fits with your brand identity. The bank of images can include photographs of you, your team, your products and/or services, your processes, your environments, your life. It uniquely details the story of your brand. This bespoke portfolio is designed for marketing use, to enable business owners to grow brand awareness, stand out from the competition and attract more clients and sales.
Pre-Production
The premium, bespoke shoot is tailored to your individual needs and requirements.
In advance of the shoot, we will jump on a discovery call on Zoom, further to an information gathering questionnaire that I will have sent to you. This is for me to get an immersive understanding of you and your business. On the call we will chat about your company, its mission statement, its core values and what you want your images to project to the world through your brand for your online and offline platforms.
Pre shoot, you will have chosen such things as your props, outfit changes, stock image shots required that we will take during the shoot.
If one of the locations is my studio, there is a bathroom for you to do makeup and hair and a separate changing area with a clothes rail. If not, you should have your hair and makeup done pre shoot. A stylist/makeup artists are available on request, should you want this.
The Photo Shoot
No photo shoots are the same because the bespoke premium service means the photo shoot is tailored to your brand.
Depending on the package chosen, we will be photo shooting in one or multiple locations, whether at your workplace, at my studio, in a park or your favourite place.
Many people feel anxious about staring at a lens but a brand photoshoot should be fun and relaxed, if not, we are not doing our job. There is no need to feel as if you have to pose, in fact posing is not what we want you do. You will be directed from the camera in terms of body positions/angles and facial expressions.
If one of your chosen locations is your workplace, we can perhap stream some music and make the session there fun and chilled.
The camera will be tethered to a laptop so that you can see the shoot in progress and together we can make any production adjustments.
Post-Production
Post production I will send to you a bank of approx. 150 images within 48 hours having had a light edit.
They will be delivered to you through a private portal and you will be able to down load these high resolution images from this platform at your immediately.
The access to these images will be available on this platform for your commercial or professional use for as long as you want them.
Post production review
At a later date, we can do an image review to see if any top up images are required, either describing your business journey or your require new stock images.
The Headshot Photo Shoot
Your headshot is your digital handshake, the first impression you present visually of you as a person, whether for use on your website, social media or other platforms.
It is my job to capture you through my lens, your personality, style and individuality.
Because no two wonderful human beings are the same, right?
Pre-Production
On arrival at the studio there will be relaxed coffee table chat as to you/your business's vision for your headshots. Shooting with studio flash or natural/ambient light or a combination of both, no two photo shoots are the same. The shoot will be tailored to your individual requirements. It's all about you.
There is a bathroom for you to do makeup and hair and a separate changing area with a clothes rail. There is plenty of room should you come with a stylist/make-up artist, both of whom also are available to hire on request.
The Photo Shoot
As said above, many people feel anxious about staring at a lens but a photoshoot should be fun and relaxed, if not, we are not doing our job. There is no need to feel as if you have to pose, in fact posing is not what we want you do. You will be directed from the camera in terms of body positions/angles and facial expression.
We will stream some music and make the session fun and chilled. The camera will be tethered to a laptop so that we can see the shoot in progress and together we can make any production adjustments.
Post-Production
Post shoot, I will send to you the first rough edit of images via a private portal.
Depending on your chosen package, whether 1, 3 hour or year package, you can then decide on 2, 4 or 6 images for retouching by me.
Retouching will be complete within 48 hours and you will then be able to download the high res images for use on your social media, website, all online and off line platforms.

“My photoshoot with Will at Purple Cube was an excellent experience yielding stunning results that have received positive industry feedback
The shoot was fun and relaxed and I was immediately able to feel at ease and confident in the process. I highly recommend Purple Cube Photography”
Headshot Mentor said " The lighting in this headshot is excellent, with soft shadows that highlight the contours of the face without creating hash lines. The neutral grey background is excellent as it does not compete for attention, ensuring the focus remains on the subject."
