As a street and people photographer I am constantly travelling and looking for storytelling scenes.

My work has been published in a variety of national and international media and exhibited in a broad mix of venues including The Mall Galleries - London, Rencontres d'Arles, The Photography Show - NEC, Birmingham, and Gloucester Services on the M5.

Commercially I help a variety of clients with their own stories, embracing weddings, portraits, products, fashion blogs.  

With a passion for sharing knowledge, I hugely enjoy facilitating meetings of a social group of photographers and holding workshops.

On this site I am delighted to share a mix of some of my personal work.  Huge thanks for taking time to be here, I hope you enjoy your visit.
