Audi in Archive

This ad for Audi shot in Kenya has been selected for Archive's best 200 auto ads of the decade.

Art directed by Kevin Stark at BBH London.



More for More Magazine


Following on from the Royal Roses shoot Leon was asked to come up with ideas to illustrate the health and well being stories in the December and January editions of More magazine in New York. The issues raised in the stories ranged from gout to health for people in a hurry.

Leon teamed up with modelmaker/stylist Brian Byrne at Set in Ice to produce the models for the shoot.

Seasonal Change

As the Summer turned to Autumn, Leon was back out in the Surrey Hills to continue making his work on Box Hill.

The project has now been through a 2 full year cycle and the changes documented have been remarkable. At this time of year there is only a small window of opportunity to capture the changes and Leon can be found once again charging around the hedgerows often lumbering a 10x8 field camera.

S-H-A-G!

S-H-A-G or Seriously Hazardous Art Gallery is a collaborative venture by Leons old friend, copywriter, photographer and artist P.A Gillet and former creative director at Dufresne Corrigan Scarlett, Guillaume Gamain.
Leon has agreed to show his work under their banner in France. Here is a taste of the opening night of this new venture at La Blanchisserie in Paris. Leon sold one of his Topography series on the night which is a great start.

Sarah Myerscough Gallery


Gallery owner Sarah Myerscough saw Leons work on display at the Royal Academy show during the summer exhibition and contacted him with a view to representing him through the gallery. His first outing under the gallery name will be at the London Art Fair in January 2012.
