Three Countries
Myself and Barry Parker decided we would try our hand at bikepacking. 400km/7000m elevation in 3 days through 3 different countries (🇫🇷🇨🇭🇮🇹) in 30+ degrees (for 2 scottish that’s baking!). It was quite hard but good fun nonetheless.
Hello
Once or twice a year I manage to get a picture of me kicking about working not hunched over, concentration tongue out or in a questionable position. This is the image for 2024 from last week in Saalbach.
Stone King Rally
What can I say. The Stone King Rally is a one of a kind race. I feel very lucky to have been involved filming the final ever race this week with komoot ! Some of the nicest people you’ll come across and the best singletrack in the world taking you all the way from the Queyras park to the hills of Liguria jumping between France and Italy. Ash Smith and the rest of the team put an insane effort in mapping out, working on the trails and making sure everything runs as smooth as possible during. Hats off! I found a couple moments to shoot some stills while I wasn’t filming bikes. Now straight in to the edit!
Nove Mesto
I didn’t have many chances to take stills while shooting in the Czech Republic at the UCI MTB World Series for Season 3 of Redbull Race tapes for Boombox Group but managed to get a little behind the scenes of what we got up to. Moving from the DH in Poland to the XCO in Nove Mesto to document a different set of teams and people.
RedBull RT IS ON
High quality craic and top notch bike riding on the first MTB shoot of the year in Poland with Boombox Group for S3 of Redbull Race Tapes. First stop Poland. On to Czech Republic for our second stop. Part 1 round up.
Family Fuji
Immersing yourself in a families home for a docu series is always a fun experience to see how other people live their lives day to day. Copenhagen was no exception in the household of leimango and malte_p . gofastergaby seemed to smile even more than me. Bringing the Fuji to as many film shoots as possible!
Copenhagen komoot
Denmark. A shoot filled with vanilla pastries, happy people and the best camera touring (kind of sketchy) bikes. I had fun.

Winter is back (for now).
April coming in with a surprise winter in Europe. Val D’Isere with a -20 windchill shooting with Inghams Ski was a harsh wake up from last weeks +25 degrees. Needless to say everyone got it done! Thanks Abbie Lewis and Melody Sky for making it a fun one! (And all the models of course). AND Sophie Offord for all the pre prod magic!
FIS100 Post Prod
Over the past 4 months I have been working with FIS (International Ski & Snowboard Federation) on 5 episodes for the FIS100 mini series. One of the episodes featured Eileen Gu who is one of the most impressive athletes out there!
Brasseria Family
Brasseria is one of those restaurants you will go to and tell your friends and family about. Family run, incredible food, the most friendly staff you will meet and the most important thing…dog friendly! It is unique.
It was a pleasure to work on the filming and post production for them over the last couple of months. I’m counting down the days until I can get back and eat more!
LDN
Being a person that is more in to quiet open spaces rather than loud overcrowded cities it’s usually a little shock to the system but it was enjoyable to take some stills in London during a client shoot. The contrast in pace from the usual was surprisingly quite refreshing for looking at framing and subjects.
People make it
Getting the right people in for the shoot really make a difference. High energy throughout the long days. Here are some stills from the footage with komoot in Italy.
London Underground
London underground showing Inghams Ski ad I shot last winter. A reminder winter is coming and more of these projects.
Komoot x Turin BTS
Turin has never really been on the list to visit but i’m very glad komoot picked it as a location. The models and prod team smashed it powered by gelato. Here is some BTS Fuji stills when I had a few moments during the shoot.
Komoot x trails
It has been one heck of a month! It started off shooting with komoot in Jura. If you want quiet rolling mountains then this is the place to go! Here is some grabs from the rushes.
Komoot x smiles
Bikes and smiles all around with Komoot . Thanks to everyone involved for putting in so much effort to get the shots! 10/10.
In a music video
Excited to be involved with the official music video for Chicanes new track Hijóping both riding in it and shooting the opening section.

Komoot App
Family shoot with Komoot last week was a lot of fun. Produced by Gaby Thompson & directed by the kids.
RedBull Race Tapes S1
I had the privilege to spend a fair chunk of time with Romain Dompnier shooting for the new RedBull Bike series Race Tapes for Boombox Group . Go binge it to get your bikes and puppets fix.
Watch here: Race Tapes S1 EP1
Pecco
It was a great pleasure shooting with Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia for Cut Media & Monster Energy last summer for the All Access series. You can find a link to the full episode on my bio.
In this final episode of Monster Energy’s #allaccess series, dive behind the scenes with Pecco one week before his home Grand Prix at San Marino to talk about his blistering speed and style, his passions, as well as discovering how Pecco deals with the immense pressure of racing at the sharp end of the Premier Class in front of his ever loyal home crowds. You won't want to miss this…
So excited to tell you
The full film is available on Amazon Prime !
The Ride On is a documentary which follows the remarkable story of a 32-year old scotsman after his diagnosis with the life changing Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
Davy sets himself, his twin brother & close group of friends an incredible challenge; to cycle 500 miles around the north coast of Scotland in just 4 days.
This has been a hugely personal project for me and it would mean so much if you could take the time to watch, review and share the film. Buying or renting the film will help us raise money for MND so please help us get Davy's story out there and hopefully inspire positive thought and action for others with MND.
The Ride On is a documentary that I have been working on over the past few years about my friend Davy Zyw and his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) at the age of 32.

Cover shot
Very happy to have the first ever Scottish front cover on Source Mag with Scott Mcmorris . He’s still got one of the best styles in the game! The picture was taken overlooking Edinburgh city last winter. It’s rare the city gets enough snow to snowboard properly... Not to mention build a hip.
