I was born and bred in Sunderland, with a love for SAFC and savoury dips!

In 1999 I received a 1st class BA (Hons) in photography after majoring in Art and Design at college.

My first job was Picture Desk Manager with a press agency which supplied major national newspapers and magazines. Each day I assessed and wired over around 100 pictures – probably the best apprenticeship in the world for sharpening the eye, not just for composition but for the story. Very soon I moved from processing photographs to taking them, and never got over the delight of seeing my pictures looking back at from national newspapers and glossy magazines.

An unusual opportunity presented itself when I was given the chance of becoming a Police Photographic Officer. A world away from ‘the mags and the rags’, police photography demands high technical and interpretive skills. The remit was wide – from crime scenes to aerial photography, from public disorder to surveillance, and more. Each picture not only captured vital evidence but told the story.

Now, with over 20 years of high calibre photo-experience I produce imagery for the likes of Bentley Motors, Honda, Toyota, several automotive magazine titles, Clarion Events and have gained more work with TV with credits for BBC & CH4. Read Less
