About Me

SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION A keen photographer since 1997, I left the UK for a couple of years to combine two of my passions; photography & travel. Upon return I decided to further my art education and study photography at a higher level. During this time I exhibited my 'New York September 2001 series' in London.Since then, whilst still traveling regularly, I focused on another of my passions; music. Having lived in London & Brighton in the UK, I became friendly with several people who work in the music industry and started taking photographs at various gigs, clubs & festivals. I also found inspiration through my circle of friends and documented the intimate side of the music scene. My images have been used in music magazines & websites and commercially, in advertising brochures.For the last year I have split my time living between the UK and Australia's Sunshine Coast. Although I still try to get to gigs etc in Australia, it is not as often as I'd like and instead found inspiration in it's diverse landscapes. I'm at present living back in Brighton, UK.Below are some of the shots from a recent press shoot I did for KissFM dj Jay Cunning (www.myspace.com/jaycunning & www.myspace.com/menumusic)... And Holly Cooper, an up and coming Brighton based DJ (www.myspace.com/hollycooper)

My Interests

photography, music, travel, parties, dancing (or jumping up'n'down/stomping/tapping my feet or swaying depending on which frame of mind I'm in), big laughs, good mates, new mates, good food, good wine (or a cheap bottle will do), family times and the love of a good man... oh and money (just wish I had some!) ;)

I'd like to meet:

People that make me smile...
