For most of my life I have always been a photographer and have progressed through many basic and very old cameras, starting with a secondhand Box Brownie presented by my father on my 10th birthday. My photographic epiphany arrived after seeing a Sebastião Salgado exhibition at the old RPS Ocatgon in Bath way back in the 80′s. and ever since I pursued my favourite subject, reportage, with hopefully an all seeing eye. Since then I have been in awe of the Magnum Agency and its photographers and am totally fascinated and inspired by their photographic essays….

Having travelled extensively throughout America, Asia and Oceania photographing culture, people and landscapes. I have always been excited by all things visual, be it the arts or just life and people encountered from day to day. Originally from London, I have spent much of my life in Cornwall, where I now live.
