| Introduction | I'm a freelance photographer based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. I have been a photographer now for over 20 years and I cant imagine doing anything else...images are my life, my love, my passion, I live it and breath it!! I started out doing documentary and qualified as a press photographer in Sheffield but soon realised although its still my passion that I just cant make a living from it so I now shoot sports, portraits, pr and commercial and everything else inbetween. |
| Interests | My main passion is photography, I also love travel, especially India and Nepal, my spiritual home and I love the Himalayas and mountains in particular. |
| Favorite Movies | Anything by Monthy Python. I also like horror, fantasy, war, action, anything really but not chick flick!! Currently awaiting the next series of Walking Dead and please bring back Jerico!! |
| Favorite Music | I love rock and old school stuff especially Pink Floyd, the Doors, Led Zeppelin |
| Favorite Books | Unreasonable behavior by don Mccullin, my favorite photographer. Any books on India or travel although I'm currently reading Stuart: A life backwards...very very good indeed.. |
How tall would you be if you had never cut your fingernails?
Who is my favorite photographer? my inspiration comes from the early documentary/war photographers. Robert Capa and Bill Brandt(the master)and obviously Don Mccullin. I really really love the work of James Natchwey too. I am also very inspired by Tom Stoddard,a lovely unassuming guy and a superb top notch photographer with an absolute passion for images.
