About Me

Since I can remember, I have yearned for a life in the creative field. Whether it be capturing images, making music or fashion design and production, I have always wanted to make a mark. Being part of the creative process is what I love and crave.I went to the London College of Fashion on a B.A Management degree and afterwards pursued a career within the fashion industry. Working for many high profile fashion companies provided me with a unique creative knowledge and awareness. Disillusioned by the nature of the industry I switched my intentions to the photographic trade in 2003. Working for a photolab company as a retailer, my job was to set-up, merchandise and to teach retailing standards to franchisees and their staff. This gave me a great insight into photography. From this point on, I decided to put my full self into doing what I love most. Making music and photography!My images on this page are captured on both digital and manual SLR cameras. I still have a love for film, being the reason why I still choose this option. I will still take images the 'old school way' purely for pleasure, but for work digital is the key. My (film) images are not cropped or altered in any way. Just pure image! I pride myself on capturing the image at the time i take it, rather than altering it afterwards. I hope you enjoy my gift to YOU! No strings attached. Just an insight into DREDISM.
