I regards myself as a creative photographer always seeing an image is important. My main subject has been the underground subcultures including Northern Soul, Ska, Punk & the Mod scene. Taken in the UK & International destinations. I have experience working with a wide range of subject matter from photo shoots / portraits, architectural interiors, weddings and product shots.
In my work light comes first and is used or created to define the qualities of whatever is being photographed, so the characteristics of the thing, person, place or occasion are made obvious in the image. I aim to create pictures with depth and atmosphere, a lager amount of my work is documenting the Northern Soul scene and the subculture surrounding it.
I’m as happy working in the studio as on location, and can work to tight or vague briefs, and I pride myself on listening carefully to discover what the pictures need to achieve.
My work has been used in a wide variety from on-line, magazines and newspapers.
