Biography
I was born in England, long enough ago that I’m not about to advertise birthdates online.
I was a chaotic kid with way too much energy, though I was capable of being calm when being creative in some way. Thankfully my creativity moved away from turning safe sports into dangerous experiments, I found discipline in Art School. Ironically this was where every other student found disorder…
I graduated from the world famous St. Martins School of Art in London, after 5 years of art study. Following another couple of years working within design and advertising, I questioned my life’s direction and quit being a creative.
Having always been a die-hard motorcycle rider (I owned bikes but no car at times) I moved into marketing within the Motorcycle Industry. However I soon realized that I actually needed a creative outlet and somehow drifted into writing and shooting photos part-time for motorcycle magazines. It was inevitable that this would become full-time.
I’m now a regular writer and photographer for several International motorcycle magazines, my name is on a couple of books, with more coming. I’m shooting everything from fast-paced action sports to glossy studio portraits, everything from products to people, I contribute travel shots to image banks around the world and lifestyle shots for clothing catalogs. I guess I’m finally the happy creative I was destined to be.
Regarding photographic style, I prefer shooting outdoors as the infinite challenges suit my personality more. I shoot Nikon all the way, film or digital as required. Every professional has subtly different needs, personally I’ve refined it down to an F5 (film) and a D2X (digital) for their brutally fast speed, and a little D50 for portability.
Finally, I’m based in Texas y’all. I’ve got the wife I always dreamed of and a couple of boys that I’m sure will give me the same nightmares I kept my parents awake with. Oh boy.
