I started taking pictures as a young boy, introduced to the past time by my Dad who is also a Professional Photographer.

In 1987 as a teenager I was given my first break by the Oxford Journal as a Trainee Photojournalist. The Journal sent me to Journalism College in Sheffield where I graduated with distinction and was awarded with the National Council Training Journalist degree in 1990.

After a year of travelling I joined The News in Portsmouth as a Senior Photographer.

In 1994 I moved to the Cotswolds and joined the Western Daily Press as a District Photographer covering Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire. I've recently calculated that I have, so far, covered 22,000 assignments!

I live in Nailsworth near Stroud, Gloucestershire with my wife Claire and our 3 children.
