Biog

Adrian's early interest in photography began when, as a young boy, he discovered his father's old Ziess Ikon medium format camera. From that day onwards wherever Adrian went, his camera followed.

After three years at Salisbury Art College, Adrian assisted a variety of photographers including Robert Golden, Andrew Whittuck and Jerry Oke. This early grounding in the fundamentals enabled him the confidence to set up on his own in 1991.

Over the past 20 years working on both commercial projects and self-initiated collaborations, Adrian has developed a distinctive photographic look, fostering long-term relationships with creatives and specialists, to achieve his idiosyncratic signature style.

Olympic images for a campaign idea by Aaron Howard.

Aaron Howard at EHS Brann came up with this campaign idea advertising TFL travel to and from the forthcoming Olympics. He wanted to enter it into the Chip Shop Awards – an advertising competition for work that has not been published. I really liked his idea and agreed to shoot for him. The tube, bus and bus stop were all shot separately and the athletes shot in the studio. Images were then comped together and retouched by Florian Hess who did a really good job.
