About Me

I’ve always been into photography and since my first Fisher Price camera I’ve rarely left home without one. Fresh out of university, however, it was the bright lights of the music industry that seduced me and I found myself working in the heart of Soho on music videos before stumbling into what was to become a ten-year career in music PR working for various record labels and PR agencies with clients including Moloko, Public Enemy, Tricky, Portishead, Kosheen, The Infadels, NME and MTV.

A decade of press trips, parties, gigs, tour buses, festivals and award ceremonies took their toll and a new career as a people photographer beckoned.
