About me.

Behind the camera. 

Photographer, Adventurer and Army Veteran.

 I have always had a deep love of creating beautiful images but my first career was with the British Army. I joined the Army in 1999 serving 12 years as a Combat Medic and 2 years as a Dog Handler. I served 4 operational tours and was Medically retired. In 2013 completed a City & Guilds level 3 in Wedding and Studio Photography and over the last 10 years I have worked hard to develop and improve my techniques and have been published in many national news papers and i have had some very exciting commissions. 

In 2014 I started to offer my services to Help for Heroes and have undertaken some exciting work such as a Pyrenees mountains expedition over the 'Freedom Trail' The Big Battlefield Bike Ride and recently I summited Kilimanjaro as the expedition photographer.  I have photographed many more events and trips with H4H and have delivered photography classes to other wounded veterans to aid in their recovery. I also hold a BTEC Level 4 in Adult teaching.

In 2015 I worked with the BBC where I was commissioned to provide all the photographic art and photos for DIY SOS and to photograph Prince Harry and Prince William. In 2017 i won first place at the prestigious Daily Telegraphs travel photographer award. 

I have photographed many exciting  events such as Red Carpet events, conferences, award ceremonies, sporting events such including the World Rally Championship, Skiing events in Switzerland, Surfing events and I was also the team photographer for British Powerboat racing team E.Marine. 

I have been privileged enough in my work to photograph some notable-names such as: HRH's Princes Charles, William and Harry. Tv and Movie stars such as Game of Thrones cast, Harry Potter cast, Thunderbirds, and sports stars such as Carl Fogarty, Mike Tindal, and Ollie Phillips

I have also worked with some of the UK's biggest names in Modelling and have been lucky enough to photograph top models such as Jodie Kidd, Daisy Watts, Rosie Jones, and Kelly Hall
