My career spans industrial and editorial photography for global clients such as ALSTOM and Siemens, alongside work with film and theatre companies, including the Red Arrows display team. I have published multiple award-winning books, including 'Portraits in Power' and 'FORTYSEVEN: The Last Bottle Ovens and Kilns of The Potteries', which was exhibited at Keele University and Middleport Pottery. As a DBS-checked commercial drone pilot with CAA certification, I offer aerial photography and videography services, combining technical expertise with artistic vision.My large-scale installations, such as the 17m x 12m trompe l'oeil at Lincoln's Waterside Shopping Centre, demonstrate my commitment to innovative visual storytelling. I have collaborated with charities like Sepsis and PTSD Awareness, raising funds through cycling and public speaking engagements. My work has been featured in prestigious exhibitions, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, and I provide media training for businesses and individuals seeking to enhance their on-camera presence.

The quality of photography is exceptional. The event took place outdoors and in twilight conditions, which could have been challenging but the images captured are atmospheric and festive. Phil understood our needs and worked with our brief to provide a range of photos which will serve many purposes, both for marketing and documentation.
