Food. People. Places.
And other stories.
Fire. Water. Air. Earth. For centuries, four elements were said to shape the world around us. But when it comes to food and hospitality, we think there's another — the people, passion and love that bring everything together.
Welcome to The Fifth Element journal, adventures of a hospitality photographer!
Two hotels.
One Belfast story.
A five day photography commission across ibis Belfast City Centre and Queen’s Quarter, capturing the rooms, food, people and public spaces that shape the guest experience.
From the Journal
Stories, old
and new.
A collection of stories from behind the camera and beyond — from recent commissions and hospitality projects to food, people, places and favourites from the archive.
Some are about the work, some about the people and places behind it, and some simply about things that caught my eye or inspired me to pick up a camera.
