My Story
The Man Behind the Lens
ā
"I’ve held a lot of titles in my life: Soldier. Trucker. Restorator. But the one that has always defined me is Photographer."
ā
Born in Plymouth, my obsession with freezing moments in time started in the '80s with a humble Kodak Discman. Since then, a camera has been my constant companion. A camera of one variation or another has seen the world with me during my time on active duty in the British Army and again in US Army, it watched the American landscape unfold from the cab of a semi-truck and has been a true escape from the pressures of those jobs.
ā
The turning point came in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. A chance meeting with US Photographer Scott Church made me realise that my "hobby" was actually my calling. I moved back to the UK, took the gamble, and turned photography into my full-time career. It’s a choice I’ve never regretted.
Over the years, my photographs have been published around the globe, and I’ve been trusted to shoot everything from high-energy events to emotional weddings and striking portraits. And because I love a new challenge, I spent the 2020 pandemic teaching myself the meticulous art of digital photo restoration; giving old, damaged photos a second lease on life.
I love what I do because every click of the shutter is a story told. I’d love to help tell yours.
