Essex based commercial & fine art photographer. My educational background is an interesting fusion of science and art which influences the way I perceive and interpret the world through my work. Commissions undertaken for a wide range of businesses and organisations, emphasis on a unique viewpoint and what make a person, place or organisation stand out. Equally at home working on funded art projects, especially those with a strong narrative or environmental message. I am a member of the Royal Photographic Society and achieved my Associate Distinction (ARPS) in 2018.

I’m a London-based art industry professional with 20 years experience of working in contemporary art. I was Creative Director at online gallery and limited edition print publishers Eyestorm.com for 10 years (2008-2018), where I specialised in artist liaison, creative guidance, fine art print publishing, curating and content writing. A regular member of the judging panel for the yearly 'International Color Awards' photography prize, I currently freelance as a consultant working directly with artists and on art-based projects and events, and am always interested in getting involved in new adventures.
