Here’s me with my first proper camera

a Pentax ME Super 35mm, already a camera nerd at 14.

I’ve always been interested in Photography, as I kid I would spend most of my pocket money on film and processing. Back then it was so expensive that I used to write down the camera settings of every photo I took and then compare the results when the prints came back from the lab. It cemented the basics of aperture and shutter speeds in my head long before secondary school.

I tried a bit of war photography in the 1990’s in the former Yugoslavia.

When I was 17 I got a job as a Trainee Photojournalist with the Oxford Journal. They sent me to Sheffield to study Photojournalism a couple of moths at a time for 3 years. I passed with distinction in 1990.

I stuck with press photography for 22 years and I had a ball, I got to meet some extraordinary people and experience things that I would never had experienced in any other job.

Princess Diana in her happier days, I photographed her several times, but always invited, I never did the paparazzi thing.

Once again my old buddy Mark and I went off seeking adventure riding dirt bikes from Hanoi to Saigon along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

My war photography career was short lived, I got very scared and decided it wasn’t for me.

I stayed in Journalism for 22 years and loved it. But the internet and the iPhone pretty much killed it off for me. So I left my last paper, the Western Daily Press and set up Pixel in 2009.
 

In my spare time I like going to cool places on my motorbike. This is me and my mate Mark at Everest base camp.
