I was fascinated by the photographer’s ability to capture incredible images of everyday things or a moment of an interaction or connection with a subject. At the time I was studying engineering at Chippenham Technical College and as it happened in the evenings the college was running a series of City & Guilds courses in photography, so as I was already there, I decided to enrol on one of the cours
es and this is where my relationship with the camera began. I spent many years experimenting with different photographic techniques and honing my skills. Between 2000 & 2006, while working for one of the UK’s largest companies I was responsible for developing several campaigns and found myself with the opportunity to carry out the photography for these projects. This prompted me to continue with my professional development at the Royal Photographic Society and in 2003 I made the decision to set up my own photography practice. In 2006 I finally made the life changing decision to leave my secure job and follow my dream to work as a professional photographer. In this period, I have carried out over 500 commissions across the west country.
