Work began in 1993 photographing 'new bands' at the NME.
This led to press and design commissions from Record Labels and then subsequently onto feature portraits for National and International Newspapers and Magazines, Book Publishers and Design and PR companies (see sample client list on home page). Black & White Photography Magazine ran the cover and a five page feature on my photography, largely focusing on the portraits shot for The Guardian.

In addition to this, commissions now also come from clients as varied as City Banks, Electrical Engineers, Medical Foundations, Local Councils, Theatres, Actors, Contract Publishers, Trade Magazines, Authors, Composers, Fashion Designers, Charitable Organisations, NHS Trusts, Barristers and In-Flight Magazines.

I was born in 1970 in Reading, Berkshire and grew up in villages around there spending my time riding and mending BMX bikes, playing guitar and plodding about the fields. I have lived in London since the end of 1989 and this Summer (2008) moved to a village called Symondsbury just outside Bridport in West Dorset.

For me photography remains a nice quick method of recording what I love about us. I believe people are good and this drives the decisions I make when photographing. I see my work as being in the tradition of documentary-photography-with-a-small-camera from the 1950s to about the 1970s. Loads of great work outside these dates of course but that’s where I’m coming from and what I see my work as a descendent of.

I’d love to help out if you need something or someone documented and preserved (photographically you understand) - (UK) 07768 077353
