hello....

About Me

Im a Coventry based photographic artist, in the last year of a degree in Visual Communication (photography)at the Birmingham Institute of Art. I specialise in documentary photography, and am currently working on exhibitions, promoting my work and working as a photographer as much as possible. I also work for a Birmingham based art gallery. I exhibit my work regularly, both independently (at Browns right now (http://www.brownsindependentbar.com) and with the collective Dialectic (www.dialecticarts.com). I also like taking pictures of bands (www.toughloverecords.com).

I am available for commission and all my prints are for sale. Please get in touch...

I also have a pet greyhound who is a bit strange.
