About
Born in London Paddington in 1983 I relocated to Guildford at the age of four where I grew up with my family and attended the local school, Guildford County. At the age of sixteen, like many teenagers, I developed a love for music and as a result would travel to the Aldershot Westend Centre to see up and coming bands and local talent. It was at this period that I decided to couple my love for music with still imagery and began photographing the bands.
After buying a cheap film camera and shooting my first local bands at the Westend Centre (on 19/05/2001): headliners Hundred Reasons and their support band who were soon-to-be (Godalming) college friend Guy Davis’ band Angel, who later became Reuben. From there whenever Reuben played in both Aldershot and in London, I would attend the shows to document them with my camera. My photographs were featured on the artwork to two of their singles ‘Let’s Stop Hanging Out‘, released on local label Bad Music and ‘Stuck In My Throat‘ which was released through Xtra Mile Recordings (My Vitriol, Frank Turner, The Xcerts, DARTZ!, Far…) whom I now works for as an A+R scout. In my early career one of my images of local act Vex Red (Virgin records) was chosen by the world’s largest amplification company Marshall Amps to feature in their national catalogue and for years that followed I worked as their London photographer shooting Slayer, Funeral For A Friend, Thursday and many more.
Since then I have moved back to London and built up a formidable portfolio of work that has been featured in leading national publications such as The Independent, Kerrang!, Drummer, The Evening Standard, Big Cheese, The Fly, NME, Total Guitar, Rock Sound magazine and many others. I now regularly contribute work to Retna photography agency and Gibson guitars whom I am one of three house photographers based in London.
