'No-one in our house works'
Welcome to my site. I’m based in London and work as a photographer and picture editor for the BBC News website.
I’ve worked at the BBC for many years in a number of photographic roles, from the archive to the news desk via the darkroom. The majority of my work has been for BBC News working closely with journalists on news stories and features.
I'm also a keen street photographer and to mark the end of Kodachrome 64 I completed a 64 week project that is available in book form via Blurb.
I'm a member of the BPPA, British Press Photographers association as well as the RPS.
