I've been a photographer since 1989, when the owner of my local music paper gave me a backstage pass for the Saturday of Reading Festival and told me to "...get good stuff."
Film of me by the ridiculously talented Richard Bailey at ReelTwentyFive, used with enormous gratitude.
Since then? Bands, bicycle races, factories, poets, musicians, hotels and shopping centres.
Porcelain, glass, concrete and stone.
Conferences and parties, expeditions and retreats. I never intended to be a generalist. I have a degree in advertising still life, and 30 years experience of photographing people in a variety of locations. Things just happened, I said "Yeah, lets do it!" and then more things happened...
I've been challenged and I've adapted. I've grown and discovered myself as I have discovered other people. I've found strengths that I'd thought were weaknesses, and vice versa.
I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up, but I'm fairly certain it will involve some seriously interesting people and that I'll have a camera with me.
