My first memories of getting the “photography bug” were watching friends in photo pits getting to photograph some my favourite bands and thinking “I’d fancy a go at that”. With absolutely no idea what I was doing I grabbed my first film camera and took the plunge. And here we are over ten years after I picked up that first camera, went to Brixton Academy to photograph Cradle of Filth, raced to Station Cameras in Reading armed with my film and came back 24 hours later with an envelope full of blank photos! A steep learning curve started then…

Over twelve years later, the learning has never stopped as I moved from film to digital to mirrorless and from standing outside Calumet in London at 2am waiting for their 24 hour development service to being hunched over a laptop in a press tent, sat at the side of a football pitch or in a hotel room at 2am tweaking every minute detail to capture that magical moment. From dark, dimly lit venues to some of the biggest stadiums and arenas in the country to photo studios to red carpets to press pens, I’ve also been lucky enough to share those spaces with the very same friends I was once watching from the sidelines.
