McDelivery
Another campaign for one of my most synonymous clients. We worked to create some super Macro images of McDonald’s burgers, breakfast, wraps, nuggets and sides for McDelivery.
McDonald’s Festive 2022
Another beautiful spot for McDonald’s, directing as part of their Christmas campaign. It’s not the most festive menu so the pressure was on to bring warmth and conviviality in a simple one shot food project. We wanted it to feel cosy and modern whilst being truly Christmassy.
Food once again from the brilliant Udo, Tim Fok was our rockstar DOP and Jess Elcock killed the Art Dept. Plus of course the brilliant team at Darling and Leo Burnett as ever.
Cadbury Glass & A Half
I was invited by the team at Media Monks to direct a few brand assets for everyone’s favourite chocolate brand Cadbury. We were working with Dairy Milk to continue their “Fabric Of The Nation” work, shooting a world which is believable and real with the grit of everyday life. It was a challenging brief, lots of crops from very tall and thing to very thin and wide, several territories, UK, Canada and Australia for example as well as the remit of shooting with the MM teams in Amsterdam.
McDonald’s McCrispy TVC
I was asked to shoot the food sequence for this star-studded spot featuring Maya Jama as well as Keith Lemon, Michael Dapaah and Elz the Witch.
The new chicken burger is a beauty and goes straight onto the core menu. It was a pleasure to direct this dynamic food sequence that pushes McDonald’s further into a new and exciting world that is as dramatic as it is delicious.
Whole Earth Drizzler
I was invited by Alison Carmichael and the team at Jelly London to collaborate on this campaign for Whole Earth’s new peanut butter ‘drizzler’, whether it’s toast, making a satay sauce or topping some porridge this is a great no nonsence addition to the pantry.
Grand Big Mac (With Bacon)
I’ve always been pretty sure that McDonald’s Big Mac couldn’t be improved. But now we’ve heard that it’s being made bigger and having bacon stuffed into, we have to admit, that’ll do it.
Big Mac fans had better be ready for even more tastiness, The Grand Big Mac is back, but only for a limited time.
Peter Bailey
I’m excited to announce that I’m now represented for my Stills Photography in the UK by the brilliant Peter Bailey!
PB felt like a natural home for the way I work, they are true professionals, operating with quiet, confidence and have a brilliant roster who have been incredibly welcoming. I’m in good company and very lucky.
/ Virgin Voyages
Welcome aboard Virgin Voyages, the new sailing experience that's bringing about an 'Epic Sea Change for All'. This experience is a lot of things, but definitely not your traditional cruise. Instead, expect a voyage that cultivates curiosity, encourages experience and advocates adventure.
With one sailing in the channel last year followed up with a trip from Miami through The Bahamas via Nassua and The Virgin Beach Club in Bimini we had a great time shooting stills and motion on board.
/ Chicken McFillet
McDonald’s has just announced a brand new bougee chicken burger, the Crispy McFillet and it’s so beautiful I could cry. They pulled me in to snap it for their billboards and in store moments.
The Crispy McFillet comprises of a chicken breast fillet in crunchy seasoned breading nestled in a glazed knotted sourdough bun, alongside fresh lettuce, and the most delicious mayo.
/ Lidl Spring Lamb
Another fantastic spring time TVC for Lidl. We told the spring story with lots of upwards motion around some beautiful food. The first BBQ of the year, delicious legs of lamb and delicious salmon as well as strawberries and a gin in the garden. What could go wrong… Oh wait…
/ Marks & Spencer Mothers Day Flowers
I achieved a bucket list dream this year, being able to direct a “It’s not just a…” commercial for M&S. Mothers Day flowers were the subject, up close and personal making them looking super beautiful! The deal came with a free vase so we had to highlight that gorgeous number too.
/ Big Tasty
The Big Tasty campaign for McDonald’s is all about decision making. With the Classic Big Tasty, The Big Tasty With Bacon and the the BBQ Big Tasty to choose from it’s almost impossible to make your mind up.
/ Lidl Spring Chicken
I was invited by the lovely people at Lidl and Karmarama to direct this handsome spring time TV Commercial. There were a few tick boxes, a beautiful spring garden - we were shooting in January so we built it in the studio. We needed SPRING so springing bouncing moments, thats flying hot cross buns, bouncing veg and chicken and daffs with a lovely upwards motion. Then Lidl love a block colour, their price points sit on spring brand colours of teals and purple so we had to sneak these into the mix too.
/ McPlant TVC
When McDonald’s shoot a TV Commercial it’s normally the case that three quarters of the ad is a lifestyle shoot with people and the final moments are food. With the McPlant McDonald’s wanted to make it all about the food and were kind enough to bring me in to direct. We shot a dynamic tabletop commercial with some beautiful food styling from Udo Reichelt-Schaurer. It’s a tricky product as it behaves differently to a normal burger but I think it looks as good as the real thing.
/ Taster
Taster are a series of pop up kitchens working exclusively with delivery companies like Deliveroo and Just Eat. They have a series of brands under their roof, from fried chicken in Outfry or Vegan Burgers in A Burgers. Working with food stylist Laurie Perry we created a large series of social images (more than i’ve ever shot in a day) to go on their online platforms. Tasty, delicious, messy good fun!
/ Chicken Big Mac
The Chicken Big Mac has proved to be an absolute phenomenon, selling out quicker than any McDonald’s product ever!
It was created after research showed that it was the most hacked item from the McDonald’s menu. Customers would pull together the pieces from Big Mac’s and Chicken McSandwich’s to form the burger and for a limited time only it was brought to the nation on menu.
/ McDonald’s Festive 2021
I was commissioned by the brilliant Leo Burnett/Prodigious to shoot the wonderful festive range for McDonald’s. Bringing the extremely talented Udo Reichelt-Schaurer into the mix as Food Stylist alongside Tony Hutchinson on props, we created a delicious teal world that created a modern look for McDonald’s Christmas campaign in 2021.
/ Dishpatch
Way back in October last year I was asked by Dishpatch to go and shoot at The Marksman in Hackney. A beautiful pub run by John Rotheram and Tom Harris. Both ex St John they serve up homeless, timely and emphatically tasty pub fare.
