With a background in editorial photography and international photojournalism, he has worked for some of the world’s best-known publications. The winner of three prestigious Young Photographer of the Year awards in two years, he gained valuable experience working the daily newsbeat for global wire agencies and national newspapers, learning to act quickly and decisively in an extremely competitive environment. He was entrusted with the LA Times’ prestigious celebrity portraiture work, photographing some of London’s A-list acting, music and fashion talent.

With a move to the countryside and a transition to the commercial world, the skills honed during those editorial years became invaluable. Art directors appreciate the ability to create beautiful lifestyle images from the mundane, or to be able to install a natural feeling to contrived scenes.

He has created an innovative, specialist niche in drinks photography and combines the precise techniques of liquid photography with years of experience in environmental portraits and natural reportage.
