I am an advertising art director turned photographer and since my early twenties I have carried a camera everywhere I go.
I have worked at some terrific ad agencies under (and alongside) amazing people and so for many years I have been steeped in the world of ideas.
I hope this gives my photos an extra dimension.
A philosopher once said ‘Love cannot be achieved, you can only be available for it’ and I approach photography in the same way.
My photographs were reviewed in a magazine in China recently and I got the Mandarin text translated. The reviewer said: “Sometimes it needs you to just enjoy his work, sometimes it requires your eyes to listen to the jokes it’s telling you.” I thought that was delightful and now call the way I work Listening With My Eyes.
I was fortunate enough to win the Leica/Street Photography International Award in 2018-19.
