I do photography, differently...


And that is why my photographs look 'different'.


An established portrait photographer working towards a mainstream fashion photography career. My origins are from a declining industrial coastal town where my landscapes were dominated by powerful smoke belching industry, deprived docklands, and derelict factories. I somehow found artistic beauty in that as a youngster, and I leverage those memories today to create powerful dramatic visuals.


As an ambassador of the use of film, and celebrated by Kodak and Ilford, every shot I take is captured with purpose. I help couturiers stand above the noise by creating more than just photographs. I create unforgettable visual stories that define the brand as they wish to be seen.


There are no AI tools used in my photography - the shots are captured on film, developed by me and then digitised. So it is as real as it gets!
