Your machinery, photographed where it actually works.

Tru-Turf and Masons Kings commission me to show their machinery in the hands of the people using it, on real courses, at the hours the work actually happens.

I photograph turf machinery in service, on real courses, with the operators who run it. Shot across the UK on club assignments, and delivered as a set marketing teams, dealers and the trade press can all run with.

Commissioned by

  • Masons Kings
  • Tru-Turf

Machines featured

  • AIR2G2
  • John Deere
  • Salsco
  • Toro

Catalogue shots sell specification. Editorial sells belief.

A mower on a white background tells a buyer what it is. A mower cutting a green at 5am, with the operator who trusts it, tells them what it’s like to own. Greenkeepers buy from other greenkeepers, so the photography should look like their world, not a studio.

I shoot on assignment across the UK: product in use, operator portraits, detail and build quality, delivered as a set your marketing team, dealers and the trade press can all run with.

Product in use

Equipment working, in context, on courses that flatter it.

Operator portraits

The people who specify and use the kit, shot properly.

Detail & build

Close work that shows engineering, finish and wear.

Film & vertical

Short cuts for socials, dealer channels and trade media.

Press-ready sets

Captioned, sized and cleared for the golf and turf press.

Seen me feature one of your machines?

I license photographs and film of your kit at work. Tell me which machine you spotted and I'll send the frames it appears in.

Working with manufacturers

How soon do we get the images?
I deliver the edited gallery within 10 working days. If you need something sooner for social media, I'll send a set of selects inside 48 hours of the shoot.
What licence do we get with the photographs?
Full commercial usage for the club, in perpetuity, with no per-image fees. I license everything upfront, so you can use the images on your website, across social media, in membership packs, in print, in the trade press and in campaigns, for as long as you like.
Do you work with turf machinery manufacturers and distributors?
Yes. I photograph machinery in service on real courses, with the operators using it, rather than on a white background. Deliverables cover product in use, operator portraits, detail and build, short film for social, and press-ready sets for the golf and turf media.
Where do you work?
I'm based in Hampshire and work across the United Kingdom and Ireland, with shoots further afield by arrangement. Recent work includes clubs in Hampshire, Kent and Cornwall.
