About me? I grew up on the South coast in a small town called Portchester. After driving a fork-lift-truck for a few years, and pursuing a passion for photography and design in my spare time, I decided to go to Art College full time as a mature student.

After 2 years of very hard work in Bournemouth Institute under the expert tutorage of pros like Mike Smith, and Jack Daniels, l emerged with a portfolio, confidence, assisting experience, and a reasonable knowledge of the industry before me.

Within 6 months of graduating, I had achieved commissions with Q magazine, The Independent on Sunday, The Times T2, You Magazine and regular shifts with the Southampton Echo (much to my grandmothers pride!). 

I am still a contributor to Q magazine, and work for many other varying publications and companies. I syndicate all my work through the Retna Picture Agency who enable me to be published world-wide.

I completed the final elusive year of my BA in Photography, at Farnham University for the creative Arts in 2010. I wrote my dissertation on the influence of music photography on modern society for which I gained a 1/1, and began a body of work concerning modern life in Britain this century, which is ongoing.

I am now based in Berkshire with a young family where I have a studio for portraiture and commercial photography. This location provides a fantastic professional base for travel nationally, internationally and most importantly, to the creative pulse that is London.

Equipment wise I use high end Canon digital cameras, Canon flash systems, and Delicacy/Bowens studio equipment. I also try to use that vast flaming ball in the sky whenever possible and bounce it around with tin-foil!

My interests are predictably my beautiful family, my dog Guinness, photography and art, motorcycles, and mountain biking in the forest where I live.
