I have been taking photos since I was 16 so 49 years now. I attained Btec and HNC at Paddington College now University of Westminster in the 80s. Concurrently I was senior photographer at British Aerospace Dynamics on missile trials but the job involved a large range of photographic tasks.

I am Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society and Fellow of The Royal Geographical Society.

I arranged a couple of photographic exhibitions in the halls at Reading University where I attained BA (Hons) in German.

My greatest claim to fame is the front cover of The British Journal of Photography – the oldest and most prestigious photographic magazine in the world.

I currently do food and restaurant photography for Hertfordshire Life.
