I first picked up a camera on childhood holidays in North Wales, with a Yashica Electro 35 in hand I would spend hours exploring the rugged coastline of the Llyn Peninsula, and almost 50 years later I still love to visit this area and wander those cliff paths. 

After school I studied photography at Napier College in Edinburgh, on graduating I developed a successful commercial career that has seen me work both in the studio and on locations around the world. Picking up commissions along the way from a wide range of clients including American Express, Berghaus, Coca-Cola, Reebok, Regatta and Sprayway, to name a few. Editorial commissions have also come from The Observer and GQ Active.

I won the Observer Outdoor Photographer of the Year for my dramatic image of the Norwegian ice-climber Andreas Haslestad hacking his way up a glacial wall. My work has featured in the Travel Photographer of The Year and I’ve been highly commended twice in the Sunday Times Landscape Photographer of the Year.

As an experienced professional I learnt my trade shooting on film; using all formats from 35mm to 10x8 plate cameras. Whilst it is satisfying to engage with these traditional systems and processes, technical innovation has marched on and today’s high quality digital imaging has expanded my creativity and allowed me to work with a degree of refinement that was hitherto impossible. This combined with modern pigment based printing systems allows me to create beautiful fine art prints on museum quality paper. Many of which are available to buy through my website here.

I'm based in Didsbury, South Manchester, contact me if you’d like to talk to me about my work or view a portfolio.
