About

With more than 20 years’ behind the lens—rooted in North Yorkshire and Scotland, but always travelling—I create visually compelling, human-focused imagery that tells real stories. My artistic approach fuses reportage authenticity with cinematic, studio-quality lighting in any environment.

Modern photography demands a huge range of skills in one person—lighting technician, art director, production manager, stylist, location and model scout, and retouching expert—all of which I can bring to every assignment, while knowing when to collaborate with the right specialists to elevate the final result.

Long-standing collaborations with The Times, alongside powerful work for high-profile brands, reflect my passion for images that resonate because they are grounded in reality.
