Would you like to produce that book you’ve always thought about?
If you’ve been going through the photo albums, maybe put your words to paper or filed them away on the computer and wish to make a lasting gift for a loved one, family, friends, colleagues or a wider audience we can take it to the natural conclusion. We produce beautiful high quality books, in hard or soft back formats. In a range of sizes and finishing options for any length of book.
Working one to one with you, we offer a full range of services including helpful advice, design, scanning, photography, copy writing, proof reading and printing.
We are happy to talk through any project that you’ve been putting off, or perhaps wasn’t sure of the next step. We can also come to you (within geographical limitations) to show our large portfolio of completed books.
If you’ve got a scruffy typed up manuscript or tatty, battered and aging photographs stuck in an album or frame, we can scan, photograph, retouch and enhance the seemingly impossible, to give you a lasting book you can be proud of. With access to illustrators and image libraries, we can add visual elements and great design to bring your book to life. Digital versions are also available if required.
From one, right through to hundreds or even thousands of copies, there is a huge range of options to give you the perfect product, be it a gift for a loved one, the family or a even a commercial enterprise. We have also won the highly prestigious Murdoch Medal and USGA Herbert Warren Wind Awards for our work.
From popups, interior design, posters, exhibitions, vehicle livery to outdoor signage, we have designed and produced a wide range of high quality displays and products.

Offering mailing options with full reports and statistics for any campaign.
Maintenance, updates and extra pages to your site can be made as and when you require.
We handle all aspects of the design process including copywriting, marketing, photography and proofing. Traditional lithographic, digital and large format. These methods cover the majority of our projects and give excellent value for money wether you need thousands or just a handful of copies.
One off’s, short run documents, invitations, flyers, newsletters to high volume brochures, hardbound books and magazines with spot colours, foil blocking, varnishes, matt and gloss laminating along with die cutting is all undertaken. Personalised and variable data printing is another service that we offer for really high impact to a marketing campaign.
Design requirements vary greatly, with this in mind, I have maintained a flexible attitude in my approach to good creativity, matched by the equally essential elements of reliability, speed and cost effectiveness.
We’ve created many identities for individuals, startup’s to large companies. Here is a small selection of our designs undertaken for our clients.
Getting the ‘shot’, capturing an emotion or a feeling is what we strive for. Family photoshoots, events, weddings are all covered.
We aim to capture your products at their best. Indoors, outdoors, in the studio or your office we can create images that pop. With advanced retouching techniques we have the ability to take your subject into another dimension.
Nothing is more important than getting your big day right. This means very careful planning and attention to detail. I always aim to get a good rapport going not only with the Bride and Groom, but also with all the families and your guests.
This gives natural, relaxed looking images and much more enjoyment all round.
I love the outdoors, whenever possible I’m out of the office or house, whether it’s on two wheels across the Surrey Hills, on foot with the family or by the coast, I relish the fresh air and I’m constantly looking for insects, birds, amphibians, crustaceans, mammals or reptiles. Wind, rain or snow be dammned.
The right photograph takes you back to a time and place, a feeling or emotion, here are a slection of mine.
