I was recently commissioned to photograph a 3D printed bionic arm made by Open Bionics, who are based in Bristol, for an editorial piece for Dyson:On magazine. Along with a couple of hero images, the client required a contact sheet of images with the arm hiking everyday objects.

It was particularly challenging as the arm, unless worn, doesn’t grip or do anything. Everything just springs back to the default position, which worked perfectly for the main images here, but not so much for gripping and holding things. So with some precise wedging of the joints in the fingers, I was slowly able to manipulate the hand into the desired positions to hold these objects. And yes, I ate the chocolate bar as soon as we were done.

2019 has been a great year, and, throughout the year, right up until late October Christmas shoots have been coming in! Those of you who follow me on Instagram will have seen my Christmas Advent, head on over to see a few more images there than the few selected here. (it was at the top of my feed throughout December)

It’s time to sit back and enjoy Christmas itself, but here are a few of my favourite Christmas images from this year, for a variety of clients. There was plenty of variety with the subject matter too, food, drinks and some proper still life stuff with perfume and ice skates for a couple of other campaigns. I hope you enjoy looking through them as much as I did making them.

Cheers from myself and the crew. Here’s to 2020! (we’re looking forward to getting started on shooting Christmas imagery throughout the year for next Christmas! Sorry for wishing the year away!)
