Info
- SummaryIn the 90's I gained my degree in Photography at London College of Printing. I published my first book in 1994 and was hired by Mixmag to photograph the pioneers of modern music. I travelled the world capturing the growth of Junglist music and in turn captured the world on film. In the noughties I sought ways to show and talk about my photographic practice using pop-up locations across London, teaming up with street artists and employing large format digital printers to create exhibitions and turn culture into commerce. In the 10's I work for the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery as a facilitator in DSLR film making as well as a trustee for the 198 Gallery.Specialties: Authentic Photography, Analogue Phonography, DSLR Videography.Experience
