I love crafting stories through still and moving images... to pinpoint the moment as an observant photographer, videographer and graphic designer.

The first photograph I took was in the 80's, of my mum desperately trying to calm my crying baby brother, as my older brother made faces. Technically the frame could’ve been better, but I’d committed a frenzied moment to negative that was both truthful to the situation and expressed something else to the people who later saw it. I've upgraded from that Kodak Instamatic, and the clerk who once told me I wouldn't be able to afford anything in his shop has since changed his tune...

As someone who is often both working professional and consumer, I want my photographs to speak for themselves, that I can deliver them and people will see what I've seen. A friend on his way to work on a Sunday said, ‘It doesn’t matter what day it is, my work is my passion, so I’m not on my way, nor already there!’ And that's me too.
