I'm a freelance photographer and photo journalist and my work has been published worldwide. Heavily influenced at an impressionable age by Cartier-Bresson, Brassai & Capa, I specialise in covering unconventional events, campaigns and community activism. These include the Bonfire Celebrations in Lewes and across Sussex (of which an exhibition is planned for Autumn 2008) Brighton Festival Fringe, the World Pea Throwing Competion and some classically "Lewes" events such as the Encierro dos Animales Pantamimos and the Old & Bitter Welterweight Relay. I covered most of the events that occurred during Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club's 10-year campaign to build a community stadium at Falmer. I've also worked on a number of ad campaigns - ranging from bikinis to a "couture collection" of doggy fashion! A member of the NUJ, my client list includes the BBC, The Independent, Archant, Newsquest, Johnson Press, Granada Media, Channel 4 News, the Commission for Racial Equality, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and Brighton & Hove Albion FC. I aim to produce atmospheric images that capture the essence of every event I cover and revel in recording the eccentricites of everyday life - or, to put it simply, People Doing Very Silly Things. I welcome commissions to take pictures of anything ...except weddings.
