Frames from the desert part 2

A few frames from the desert. The second time crewing @badwaterhq Salton Sea race and I love it. Something really draws me to the desert. The space, the quietness, the remoteness. This time @mikeseaman2709 and I crewed @susie_chan_ @emmaharris356 and @mandruns . These ladies are tough mother f*ckers! Grinding out 81 miles through the desert and 9000 ft up to finish on a mountain and taking a course record while they were at it for a team of 3 females. Love seeing amazing people do amazing things. So lucky to call this team close friends. More to come soon @sony.unitedkingdom @sonyalphaeu

London, you were amazing. It’s been a week since the marathon and I still get goosebumps explaining what the crowds and support were like whilst going round shooting for @shokzuk . I just love the energy and noise of marathon day. Congrats to all who ran - I hope you had an awesome day. Shout out to @eilishmccolgan for even finishing given the injury on her foot. How you run the final 13 miles at that speed with that injury I have no idea. Thanks to Shokz for having me back for another year. Cant wait for next year and more amazing vibes. @sony.unitedkingdom

Playing with edits from last weeks shoot with @salomonrunning and @upandrunninguk

Shooting with @sportsshoes & @on in Yorkshire. Thanks for having me guys! Shot on my new @sonyalpha A1ii @sony.unitedkingdom

1 campaign, 3 countries, 3 weeks. Australia for 36 hours, Spain for 2 days, Utah for 3 days and Boulder for 2 days. This has been a mad few weeks of travel but I’ve loved shooting stills and directing video for this job with Shokz. A huge thanks to @andy_buchanan @eilishmccolgan , @connermantz and @hellenobiri for bringing your energy and talents to the shoots (and for dealing with some questionable weather in places). And to all the crew who made it happen - @koruptvision @cheaney_dop @paulwheatthins @knicolephoto @leo.sideras @dev_shotem . Now for lots of editing. Lastly, this wouldn’t have happened without @shokzuk , @shokzaunz and @shokzusa . Thanks for trusty me with this campaign - it’s been fun! @sony.unitedkingdom @alphauniversebysony.eu Cove credit @dev_shotem

Chasing @harryruns round the Cornish Coastline in the @arcofattritionbyutmb as he raced the 50 miler yesterday in tough conditions. Thanks to @janjiuk for having me along to document his race and well done Harry for 5th place. Great to see so many familiar faces down there. I love this sport and community! With storm Ingrid in full flow over the weekend, a big shout out to everyone running, crewing, volunteering and organising especially during the 100 miler when the storm was at its worst. I had zero fomo for those racing the 100 over night. It was hideous out there! Last thanks to @will.h.p and @daniel.wk.evans for locations #trailruning #runningcommunity @sony.unitedkingdom @sonyalpha

Fun in the desert on our drive back from a sunrise shoot. Balanced my phone in my shoe for the bts hence the crappy video. Thanks to @susie_chan_ and @r_wat for the wheel spins and eating a lot of dust! @r_wat definitely drove it like she stole it!

Slow shutter shots at the @nikelondon After Dark Tour. Went along as it looked like a cool event to shoot. Was nice to have no brief and shoot for fun! Good to finally meet fellow shooters @nathanphua and @simonrphoto in person as well

Ten years into PH Balance, it felt like time for a refresh. What started as a small agency has grown and shifted, and I wanted the name and space to reflect where the work is now — more storytelling, more running and adventure projects, and a more honest sense of what I care about making. So today I’m moving everything over to philhill.co.uk To mark the shift, I’ve shared images that have shaped the journey so far — the ones that taught me the most, pushed me the furthest, or just meant something important along the way. Huge thanks to Andrew @tallerdesign.co.uk , who brought the new site to life and kept me sane through the process. If you fancy a look, it’s here: philhill.co.uk Feels good to finally share this. A huge thanks to everyone who has been part of the journey and shaped the last 10 years for me. Bring on the next 10!! Tag or share if you know someone who wants to be part of this next chapter. #Photography #CreativeDirection #BrandPhotography #DocumentaryPhotography #VisualStorytelling #PhilHill #PHBalance #sportsphotographer #commercialphotographer

Desert abstracts from Javelina. Light, dust, motion - the desert never stands still. @sony.unitedkingdom @sonyalpha @javelinajundred

Where to start with @javelinajundred !! Possibly one of the best and most out there races I’ve ever been too. Crewing, pacing and taking pics for @susie_chan_ and @mikeseaman2709 alongside @r_wat and @demslie . Dream team to spend a few days with. The race itself was in the stunning Arizona desert with an amazing party atmosphere throughout the day and night. Walking up to get ready to go out and pace Mike for 20 miles at 4am to have dubstep blasting out at you certainly keeps you awake. The sun rose over the desert and it was a proper pinch yourself moment of how grateful I am to running for what it has shown me and the places it takes me. So many laughs, so many amazing people, so want to go back again either crewing or running. @sony.unitedkingdom @janjiuk @aravaiparunning #trailrunning
