Ti Mikkel in conversation at Exeter College, Oxford
It was an absolute pleasure to work alongside the Oxford Writers' House to capture their special In Conversation event with Ti Mikkel at Exeter College.
Hosted within the beautiful surroundings of Exeter College, this event brought together writers, students and creatives for an inspiring afternoon of storytelling and honest conversation. Ti spoke openly about her journey into the industry, her experiences working with George R. R. Martin, and her work on major HBO productions including House of the Dragonand A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The room was completely engaged from start to finish.
From a photography perspective, events like this are always a joy to document. There’s something special about capturing those genuine, unscripted moments, the laughter during a light-hearted anecdote, the concentration in the audience during deeper discussions, and the natural connection between speaker and host. My aim throughout the afternoon was to quietly tell the story of the event as it unfolded, without interrupting the atmosphere or flow.
The setting itself added so much character to the imagery. Exeter College provides a timeless Oxford backdrop, and I made sure to incorporate that sense of place into the gallery, blending intimate close-ups with wider shots that show the scale and setting of the occasion.
Events like this are exactly why I love what I do. They’re about people, ideas, energy and connection and my role is to preserve those moments so they can be shared long after the final applause.

Engine Race 2.0
On an invigorating day at Berryfields in Aylesbury, I had the privilege of photographing ENGINE RACE by Fitness Blueprint.
An uplifting fitness challenge that brought together athletes of all levels for a day filled with grit, determination, and community spirit. This wasn’t just a race; it was a celebration of fitness, resilience and shared achievement.
From the first sprint to the final station, the atmosphere buzzed with energy and focus. The course was made up of fast-paced, functional workout stations designed to test endurance, stamina, and mental strength which became a vibrant stage where every effort, every cheer, and every exhausted smile told its own story.
I concentrated on capturing those defining moments: pairs pushing each other through rowing, skiing, kettlebell swings and burpees, the runners powering between stations, and the genuine camaraderie that made the day so special. The intensity of the competitors, the supportive encouragement from the crowd, and the bursts of triumph at the finish line all translated into powerful images that reflect the heart of the event.
Photographing with a combination of natural light and the raw energy of the race, my aim was to preserve both the physical challenge and the emotional highs, from focused preparation to elation after crossing the line.
It was more than a fitness competition; it was a testament to what a community can achieve when it pushes together for a cause. Whether you’re planning a sport challenge, charity event, or active community gathering, I’d love to help you tell its story. Across Buckinghamshire and beyond, I capture the moments that showcase your event’s energy, emotion, and unique character, from the action on display to the atmosphere that surrounds it.

Diwali Celebrations at the GXCA
On a dazzling Friday evening at the GXCA, I had the pleasure of photographing the Diwali Celebrations at the Gerrards Cross Community Centre. A night that shimmered with colour, music, and togetherness as the community came together to celebrate the Festival of Lights.
The atmosphere was alive with joy and tradition. The hall became a canvas of colour and culture where every smile, every twirl, every flicker of light telling its own story. My focus was on capturing those moments that truly defined the evening: the laughter between friends, the graceful energy of the dancers, and the glow of families gathered in celebration.
Working with ambient light and the vibrant palette of saris, decorations, and stage lights, I aimed to preserve the warmth and spirit of the event, whilst capturing the intricate details of the performances to the candid joy in the crowd. Wonderful food and energetic dancers giving their all on stage showed me what makes Diwali so special.
It wasn’t just a celebration; it was a beautiful reminder of community, culture, and light overcoming darkness. The spirit of Diwali shone through in every gesture and every shared moment, creating memories that will last long after the candles fade.
If you’re planning a cultural celebration, community gathering, or festive event, I’d love to help you tell its story.

Ares Judo Championship
On a lively Saturday at the High Wycombe Judo Centre, I had the privilege of photographing the Ares Judo Championships, a high-stakes event that brought together competitors from across the region for a full day of fierce contests, discipline, and determination.
From the first bow to the final throw, the atmosphere was electric. The mat became a stage for precision, courage, and respect, every contest a moment of focus and heart. My goal was to capture those fleeting expressions that define the sport: the calm before a match, the explosive motion of a throw, and the sportsmanship that follows a hard-fought point.
Working with fast shutter speeds and natural light from the arena, I focused on freezing both the power and grace of each movement, the strain in a grip, the twist of a counter, and the moment a competitor lands perfectly poised. Between matches, I turned my lens to the crowd, coaches shouting encouragement, teammates cheering from the sidelines, and parents holding their breath. Every frame told part of the story.
It was not just about competition; it was a celebration of community, skill, and shared passion for the art of judo. From the youngest judoka making their debut to seasoned black belts chasing gold, the energy in the hall was nothing short of inspiring.
If you are hosting a sporting event, martial arts competition, or athletic showcase, I would love to help you document it. Whether it is the split-second action, the quiet concentration, or the camaraderie off the mat, I cover events across Buckinghamshire and beyond, capturing the emotion, movement, and moments that define the day.

Chearsley Vintage Car Show
On a bright Sunday in mid-September at Chearsley Cricket Ground, I had the pleasure of photographing the Classic & Vintage Car Show—the 14th annual Chearsley Classic & Vintage Show.
From 11am till 4pm, the grounds were alive with hundreds of beautifully restored and lovingly preserved vehicles — from vintage motorbikes and classic cars to agricultural machines each telling a story of craftsmanship, nostalgia and pride.
My aim was to capture that sense of timeless elegance, the gleam on polished chrome, the whispers of engines, the delighted faces of owners talking with visitors, and the children’s awe as they gazed at engines and wheels. I used natural light and a fast shutter speed to freeze moments of stillness and motion: a door opening, a classic car rolling by, a child stretched up to peer into a bonnet.
There was so much more than just cars: live music set the air alight, food stalls offered everything from BBQ to ice cream, arts and crafts added splashes of colour, and the licensed bar and funfair brought laughter and rest breaks.
If you’re planning a classic car event, vintage show, or any gathering centred on heritage, passion, or community I would love to help document it. Whether you want sweeping car-line panoramas, intimate detail shots, or the candid human element, I cover events across Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas, tailoring photography to capture every part of the story that matters.

Aylesbury Park Run
On a bright (and super windy!) Saturday morning in Aylesbury, I had the pleasure of photographing the weekly Park Run at Aylesbury’s beautiful park. The event brought together runners of all ages and abilities, united by a shared sense of community, determination, and fun.
My goal was to capture the spirit of the morning, including the excitement at the starting line, the effort and focus mid-race, and the smiles of achievement as runners crossed the finish. Using natural light and a fast shutter speed, I focused on creating authentic, high-quality images that reflect both the movement and emotion of the day.
If you’re organising a public event, fun run, or community gathering and would like professional photography coverage, I’d love to hear from you. I provide event photography across Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and surrounding areas, tailored to capture every moment that matters.
