My photographic approach is very eclectic! In exploring/photographing the environment I include all elements that fit the story. It can be anything natural, human, animal, their interactions and influences on the surroundings that will make images that describe and show what is happening at the moment. I am happy exploring a variety of locations, urban, wilderness, as well as covering events, reportage/street style and documentary. New places always excite me giving a chance to discover new things and to stretch my creativity.

I completed a Diploma in photojournalism at LCP in the mid '80s and I've been working in a variety of ways since then; initially in London freelancing for various magazines, shooting editorial portraiture, reportage, documentary, (iD; Time Out; Taste; Tatler; Design Week; Haymarket Publications) Since leaving London in 1994 I have been shooting landscape, travel, personal projects, and social events. 

I've also exhibited in a number of shows:
2013: Fotonoviembre Bienal Internacional de Fotografía, section Atlantica Colectivas.
Convento de Santo Domingo, Tenerife. “Crisis in Paradise”
2015: Fotonoviembre Bienal Internacional de Fotografía, section Documental. El Corte Ingles, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
2015 & 2016 Group exhibition TenDiez Arts, Baobab Suites, Costa Adeje.
2017 Photography on a Postcard. London.
2019 Incognito for the Jack & Jill foundation, Solomon Gallery, Dublin.
