As a teenager I became a member of a couple of youth organisations; A young people's photography project and a youth theatre. As official photographer for the theatre I meticulously documented the workings of the group. The group performed at international festivals in Holland and Switzerland, as well as throughout London and the UK.

After secondary school I enrolled at the University of Westminster to study Film, Video and Photographic Arts. It was at Westminster that I studied contemporary critical theories. In addition to the visual studies, I started scanning and using photoshop. I also started a part time job working in a photographic bureau in Soho.

Aside from a chance encounter with a Casio QV-10a digital camera in 1996, I went on photographic hiatus, working in an internet access cafe until 2002. I then got a job working in the digital studio of a records management company. My professional involvement with taking photos encouraged me to take more personal portrait based work in my spare time.

In late 2004 I built this web site and within days received his first commission - to shoot a family on Primrose Hill (in the rain)..Since then I have undertaken commissions for PR agencies, done weddings, parties and events as well as portraits on behalf of my clients for personal and professional reasons.
