I am based in London, UK. I photograph people: portraits, beauty and lifestyle for advertising, corporate and editorial clients.

Last year, the NPG acquired for their permanent collection my photograph of Shazia Mirza.

Amongst other things, I am currently working on two books with portraits: one of comedians, the other of very serious inspiring personalities.

In a bit of a departure from my usual work, I photographed landscapes for a book about Bardsey Island over the last years. It was launched at the Hay Festival last year. Read more by clicking on this link or go here to order it.

All this is so much fun, I sometimes wake up in the morning and cannot believe my luck. I have to hit myself with a little wooden hammer, which I keep handy on my bedside table.

As for my bio: I worked in TV for a bit, then I worked in IT for a bit and then I had enough and became a photographer. I assisted the great Clive Arrowsmith for three years before setting out on my own. I play the piano and can count from 1 to 10 in German.
