Bio

A lifetime of capturing the great, the good and the talented, has given me a body of work of some of the most significant individuals you could ever want to meet. I’ve had a career taking revealing portraits of passionate, talented people in places normally closed to prying eyes, is what gets me out of bed in the morning. I can sometimes be found working in small corners of hotel rooms, ceilings of studios, or even attached to the side of an aeroplane.. (I’m fully insured). Notably, I found myself walking into the South Drawing Room of Buckingham Palace in 2019 asking my host ‘Can you finally now tell me now WHO am I here to photograph?!’ This was for the infamous BBC Newsnight/Prince Andrew interview, which became two Netflix & Amazon TV dramas and a worldwide news story that runs to this day. Over the years I have pointed my lens at a long list of notable subjects, from prime ministers to prisoners, as well as multiple Hollywood legends. Some of my photographs are now in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London, whilst others are winners of international photo prizes. Based in the UK, I can often be found at home, trying to contain the noisy pooch (with the ears) whilst trying to set up a home music studio against the odds..
