My photography journey started at aged 4, sat on a rickety wooden chair, in a matching stripy number my mum picked out for me, at a studio somewhere in London where I took my first self-portrait (see right). If someone had told 4-year-old me that 30 years later he would be building this website and writing a bio, he probably would have giggled and said, ‘I’m going to buy tractors, not cameras!’

​

At 14, I got my first SLR camera with film. Digital hadn’t taken off and I didn’t want it to! I loved developing photos in my uncle's darkroom and handing friends' physical photos of special moments. I studied analogue photography and got ready to take my work professional. One year of paid jobs later, the pressure of digital photography made the photography that I created impossible to price and sustain. I got a job in an office I hated and stayed put for 12 years. 

​

18 months ago, my partner asked me ‘why don’t you just quit your job, study, and take photos?’. It is moments like this, that change everything. As a photographer, I capture moments. Moments you planned, moments you didn’t, moments you won’t realise were pivotal until you see them years later, moments that last. So, let’s meet for a coffee and discuss the moments that have changed your course. The moments that have led to you looking for a photographer to capture the next ones.
