This challenge is not for the faint hearted. I can swim reasonably well but my hat is certainly taken off to Kev Brady who decided to swim the length of Britains longest river, the River Severn in Gloucestershire for charity. This extraordinary swim will take Kev approximately 220 miles and many weeks to finish in freeing cold waters!

Jack Butland - England International Footballer
Jack Butland made his competitive debut tonight for England in Lithuania. The occasion reminded me of the time I photographed him while he was on loan at Cheltenham Town a couple of years ago. He had a confidence and presence about him back then and has certainly lived up to many peoples high expectations. He is now Stoke Citys number one between the sticks and will fight Joe Hart all the way for the England goalkeepers position.
Kevin Keegan - Football Legend
I recently photographed the former Liverpool, Newcastle and England football legend Kevin Keegan. I had in mind the exact type of shot I wanted, outside in the grounds of the lovely hotel. The only problem was the light..or lack of it as it was fading fast! By the time Kevin arrived my best laid plans had to change as it was pretty much black! I ended up shooting him against this wall and powering up the flash to give a nice punchy image.

If you like chess then you will definitely know who Garry Kasparov is..if you don't know anything about chess then Mr Kasparov is a Russian chess grandmaster, former world chess champion, writer, and political activist, considered by many to be the greatest chess player of all time. From 1986 until his retirement in 2005, Kasparov was ranked No 1 for 225 out of 228 months.
National Wedding Show
Last weekend I had a brilliant time exhibiting at the National Wedding Show which was held at the Birmingham NEC. It was a full on busy event running from Friday to Sunday with loads of amazing suppliers.
I want to say a big thank you to all the amazing couples who came along and showed interest in my photography. Hopefully I will see you all again soon on your big day :-)
Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk at Home
I was recently commissioned to photograph Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk at his home in Cheltenham. The shoot was very informal with the aim to capture Alex away from the political arena. I have photographed Alex many times over the past couple of years, while he was campaigning to become Cheltenham MP and now in his current role. I only had about twenty minutes to get as many different shots as possible, so not the easiest of tasks when dealing with small children!
