About Me

I'm an English photographer who now finds himself living in Vienna, after following the well trodden path of falling for an Austrian girl! This didn't work out but I have decided to stay here so I can be close to my son Samy.Before I moved to Vienna I specialised in Music photography, I've documented a huge slice of the Electronic dance szene from the early 90's until 2000. Capturing virtually the A-Z of who's who and getting to travel the world at the same time.My work was published regularly in Muzik, Vox & Melody Maker under the moniker 'Raise-a-head'. I also contributed to Worldpop.com and was the main video cameraman for the Worldpop Ibiza homepage. I've also filmed about a dozen documentaries that were shown on ITV, including Blissed out in Ibiza and Roger Sanchez in New York.I now do mainly commercial photography and magazine work. I don't do weddings, nor recommend them. If you would like me to take your picture then send me a message.

My Interests

I find Human behavior the most interesting, most of what I read is connected to this. I'm quite extreme either super fast or really slow things move me. I'm a nature boy who loves the city, being a parent, nurturing things especially children & plants. I get my kicks on two wheels, loving fast bikes and mountain biking. I love learning from everyone I meet and realise the older I get the less I know. I used to be the last one to leave a party, although after becoming a parent this behaviour is no longer compatible with my lifestyle! I like to see the beauty in everything and this is what I try and capture in my photographs.

I'd like to meet:

Emotionally mature, creative people that can still see the world with a child like vision.Also people who can actually read and not just press the friend request button.Please note I do not except friend requests without a short message telling me why you want me to add you. Thanks.

Music:

I'd rather Jack than Fleetwood Mac.

Television:

I don't have one. Austrian telly is not for me. Although I was given a Shameless DVD for christmas.I watched the shameless DVD again last week. Got bored after the christmas special. How did I watch it? Answers on a postcard please.

Books:

It's nice to read, I do it quite often. Thing is which Author should I wear like a badge of honour? If truth be told I prefer to look at the pictures.

Heroes:

You can't count on anyone, especially your heroes!
