Author Profile

I’m a documentary and portrait photographer from the Black Country, now based in London. I love telling stories and feel great satisfaction from giving a voice to the person who is rarely heard, showing a fresh side to a face that we are weary of seeing, or revealing a world that we never new existed. From a conscious age I’ve observed life with fascination. Being let into a stranger’s world is a privilege and my camera allows me to capture life’s nuances, document its cultural change, adaptation and evolution, in an honest, arresting and insightful way. Since 1992, I have travelled the world documenting news, social and humanitarian issues for various national and international publications such as The Times, London Evening Standard, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, New York Times, The Australian and Hong Kong Standard along with a number of commercial, charitable and PR organisations such as Selfridges, London Business School, London Eye, Thomson, Land Securities, Save the Children, Concern and EveryChild. I am also represented by eyevine photographic library. Assignments include ‘The Estate We’re In’ looking at the poverty and deprivation on London’s housing estates, London 2012 Olympic Games, the Asian tsumani, the displaced in Darfur, the death of Princess Diana and numerous photo stories on subjects including Child Marriage in Malawi, and Muslims in Britain.
