My Story
You'll often find me embracing a casual and comfortable style, sporting shorts and flip flops, or even donning a wetsuit or salopettes. However, it’s always pleasant when others mention that I scrub up well when required.
Throughout my journey, I've made a conscious decision to let my diverse range of interests, cultivated through extensive travel across Asia, the Pacific Isles, and Latin America, shape the breadth of my personal photography portfolio. Although I do have a particular passion for environmental portraiture and capturing the outdoor active lifestyle, my interests extend far beyond those boundaries.
As a result, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with a diverse range of clients, working on an array of projects, events, and weddings in various environments and locations. I approach each assignment with remarkable adaptability, consistently meeting my clients' expectations with agility and precision.
My dedication to my craft has earned me recognition from esteemed curators, who have selected my work for prestigious exhibitions. I've also been fortunate enough to have my photographs featured in national magazines and press. Additionally, my images were celebrated at the New York Photography Awards 2022/23.
In my career, I've had the privilege of capturing household name elite athletes and some of the world's best international sports teams. Additionally, I've had the pleasure of helping showcase industry leaders, renowned academics, talented artists, and established and emerging musicians; creating visually stunning portraits that showcase their exceptional talent.
Beyond my work, I'm a storyteller for Ocean Culture Life, a global charity that unites like-minded creatives with a shared goal of inspiring love for the ocean, promoting activism, and supporting OCL Guardians and their projects.
My other chosen charity is Healing Waves, whom I provide my services on a voluntary basis. Healing Waves enable individuals with a condition and/or disability, both neurological and physical, to access the ocean in a safe way to participate in water sport activities.
Having spent almost 20 years as a teacher, I understand the importance of providing a personal and approachable service while upholding the highest professional standards. I am well-versed in working under tight deadlines and in high-pressure, dynamic situations. When discretion and sensitivity are required, I pride myself on effortlessly building trust with clients and ensuring their comfort.
Raised by a ski instructor and with a background as a Royal Navy Reservist, I hold enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certification. Furthermore, I am qualified in power boating, sailing, scuba diving, lifesaving, and rock climbing. I am happily married with a son and daughter, and my interests encompass sports, wildlife conservation, travel, and astronomy. Though I must admit, my guitar skills may not always be pitch-perfect.
