I specialise in photographing people and places in the news or who should be in the news.

I  tell stories with photography, especially about the strengths of working class people doing things for themselves.

I am a Brummie by birth and proud of my roots in the industrial heartlands of the United Kingdom.

My main work is around environmental photography; people building lives in new and different ways.

I  cover all area of “alternative”politics with particular interests in the politics of small practical campaigns.

I have spent a lot of time photographing those involved in building new and sustainable ways of living, such as the community on the Isle of Eigg in Scotland.

My background is in the Trade Union movement, I worked for workers in both the national health service and the energy industry for many years.

I have been an active climber and mountaineer, and through that experience I developed a special relationship with the landscape of the highlands of Scotland, where I spend as much time as I can……… but these days spend more time fishing than climbing!

I have a 1st class degree in Visual Communications (photography) from Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD)

Presently I am a post graduate student (History of Art) at the University of Birmingham. So get to spend a lot of time at the rather wonderful Barber Institute

I am willing to accept commissions for photographic and journalistic work.
