Like many photographers, I started young, getting my first camera at the age of 11.  In fact I won it when a letter I sent to a comic was picked as the 'Letter of the Week'.  I still have that camera (and the comic!).

Many years, and quite a few cameras, later, I began taking photographs for one of the UK's biggest companies, covering events such as conferences, and taking photographs for brochures.

I'm now a full-time freelance photographer.  My work encompasses family and business portraiture, public relations, live events (from business conferences to family celebrations) and commercial/advertising photography.  I'm a regular photographer for 'Vine' a monthly magazine for the Sevenoaks area. 

I live in Sevenoaks with my wife and two young sons.
