Hi there, and thank you for visiting!

I am a fashion, portrait and advertising photographer with an interest in a wide range of subjects, but a particular specialisation in the alternative scene.  I also run a global company in an unrelated field, so I have limited time to shoot and process images, and I try to use it wisely.

Although I can turn my hand to a number of styles, my "peronal style" has been called painterly and hyper-real.  I find my inspiration (if not always my personality role-models!) in the likes of Dave Hill, Joel Grimes, John Farrar, David LaChappelle, Bob Carlos Clarke and Helmut Newton. 

I love to create, and I love to collaborate with like-minded souls.  I shoot with high-end Nikon cameras and Profoto lighting gear, but what really brings it all alive is the thinking and planning behind each shot.  

If you are interested in working together, please take a look at the section on Booking a Shoot.   And in the meantime, I hope you enjoy my work.
