This isn’t me on a Sunday morning but it is a good example of how I achieve my pictures. I was working on a story about Sunday morning football and I spotted this gentleman.

During the warm up he was wearing a different shirt to his team mates that I knew he would have to change before the game began so I just waited for the “decisive moment”.

From the early years working for music papers and magazines, through a dozen years as a sports photographer for The Independent, Independent on Sunday and The Observer as well as The Sunday Times, The Guardian and both Telegraphs to the work displayed in these pages, I have executed the brief and tried to add a twist of my own.

Please click on the galleries to the left and you will be able to see a wide range of my work. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

Graham Gorton, Head, Howe Green House School, Chair of Independent Schools Association 2010

“ Adam is the best photographer I have come across during my 20 years working in marketing. The shots he took were instrumental to the success of a new school prospectus project I handled recently. Photographs from this were subsequently chosen for use in a number of national publications, including a cover shot for the official Prep Schools’ Association magazine. Adam understood the brief perfectly and it was his attention to detail and innate ability to create the perfect shots which was particularly impressive. He was extremely professional and easy to work with throughout the process and his original and creative input about the style of pictures proved invaluable. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to any organisation.“

Philippa Scudds, Director of Marketing, Canford School.

“ Adam is a fantastic photographer who ably captures the essence of our school through his photos. More than that, he has a passion for how the school markets itself. We have benefited from his vision and enthusiasm; the school is better for it. Adam has a natural affinity with the students, which enables him to create natural and striking pictures. He is a firm fixture on our marketing calendar.“
