BORN 1975 STIRLING, SCOTLAND, GREW UP IN ENGLAND.
WENT TO UNIVERSITY TO STUDY FINE ART PAINTING. DROPPED OUT AND WENT TO WORK IN THE LAKE DISTRICT, ENGLAND.
DECIDED TO GO BACK TO UNIVERSITY AND STUDY HISTORY OF ART & DESIGN. MOVED TO FALMOUTH, ENGLAND, TO DO A PGDIP IN CREATIVE ADVERTISING.
TRIED MY HAND AT ART DIRECTION IN LONDON, BUT AFTER 3 YEARS OF PLACEMENTS AND FREELANCE WORK, I'D HAD ENOUGH.
HAD A COMPLETE CAREER CHANGE AND MOVED INTO TEFL. IT WAS A WAY TO ESCAPE THE UK WITH MY LIMITED LANGUAGE SKILLS.
AFTER LIVING IN LISBON, PORTUGAL, FOR SIX YEARS I DECIDED TO GO AND EXPLORE SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT, SO I WENT TO ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN. HOWEVER AFTER NINE LONG MONTHS I HAVE COME TO PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA. I HAVE ONLY BEEN TAKING PHOTOS, SERIOUSLY, FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. I GOT INTO STREET PHOTOGRAPHY THROUGH THE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY NOW PROJECT ORGANISED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S GALLERY, LONDON.
