Starting out shooting friends on bikes and in bands. I got my first pictures published at the turn of the millennium.

Making the jump from film to digital around 2003, my photographic journey pivoted towards the world of news photography, where I began the traditional way at a local newspaper.

Throughout my career as a press photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working with various national and international publications and agencies.
My photographs have been featured in newspapers and magazines worldwide, spanning 100 nationalities across 151 countries.
Most of my time in news photography was spent as the UK stringer for Agence France Presse, before concluding my news career at the Financial Times.

My work has been recognised by the Picture Editor’s Guild and The Press Gazette BJA, with awards and honourable mentions from the Press Photographer’s Year & the British Press Photographers Association.

After a very long break from photography, I’ve found myself back behind the camera.
To mark this somewhat rusty return, I’ve launched this website, sorted through some old photos, and added a few new ones.
