I am a professional, commercial British photographer (LRPS).
In 2007 I became co-winner of Lens Culture's first-ever photography contest entitled “In Between”:
Currently, I am represented by Getty Images.
I have also been interviewed and portrayed by Tink.ch, Switzerland's leading online news magazine for students and Millenials: https://tink.ch/it/2014/11/fotografia-quando-una-passione-diventa-lavoro/
While I still lived in Switzerland, I founded and managed a very popular photography school, where I used to regularly teach photography workshops and courses for beginners, intermediate, and advanced photography enthusiasts and creatives.
Aged seven, I was introduced to photography by my grandfather, who gave me my very first camera: A wonderful Kodak Instamatic Pocket 100.
Curious by nature, I have taken pictures ever since.
Having studied photography, photo-media, printing and the history of photography at Wiltshire College, and holding a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honours from the Humanities Department at "King's College London", I have also taken postgraduate studies in education and pedagogy at UCL's "Institute of Education".
I love the diversity both traditional and digital photography offer the artist. As a purist, I never crop images and enjoy "getting it right" in camera.
Today I am proud to be able to offer a wide range of professional photography services to my various international clients. I have continuously expanded my professional portfolio to include a variety of contemporary commissions featuring reportage, portraits, headshots, landscapes, architecture, abstracts, corporate, and product photography.
