I’ve always had an artistic streak - I just couldn’t draw or paint to save my life. It never really showed up in my early music career either. Things only started to click when my dad gave me aN OLD Pentax K1000 in my early teens. That’s where photography took hold - and never really let go.

Since then, I’ve been hooked on an art form that’s evolved massively with technology, yet somehow never lost its magic. There’s still nothing quite like watching an image slowly emerge in a developer tray. I was lucky enough to grow up in the darkroom, before digital took over, and I still miss the hands-on craft of the enlarger - playing with filters, dodging and burning by hand. There was something beautifully imperfect about it that Lightroom sliders can’t quite replicate.

That original Pentax is probably still lying around somewhere - taped together after a fall at a press shoot. I’ve flirted with Canon and Nikon over the years, but eventually made the switch to mirrorless with a Fuji X-T3 in 2020. No looking back since.

My influences span both the old and the new. The classics - Cartier-Bresson, Adams, Newton - sit alongside a constant stream of modern work. I’ve never really boxed myself into a single style. I’m just as drawn to wildlife (where it all began), as I am to fast cars, architecture, macro work, interiors, or the raw energy of sport - especially capturing my boys and their mates on the sports field. There’s something incredibly rewarding about freezing those split-second moments of intensity, effort, and joy.

I don’t claim a signature style - I prefer to explore, experiment, and see where things lead. Give me a camera, a tripod, and a city street with no plan, and I’ll always find something worth capturing. As Robert Adams put it:

ENJOY THE IMAGES
