About

The Artist

As with lots of other artists I started out intending to be a painter

but a twist of fate set me on a different creative path.

And this year will be my 40th as a professional photographer.

In that time I have had the good fortune to work with some of the greatest

names and on some of the biggest accounts in the world.

And yet, the day I went to collect my first award, my father was still

waiting for me to get a “proper job.”

There is more to commanding an image than just point and shoot!

I believe that personal contribution, creativity and an ability to make

intelligent use of available resources, combined with expertise and a

little good timing are the key elements to producing the best images.

I researched digital photography extensively before I went over in 1997.

And since then I always shoot that way out of preference.

I have had my images referred to as being closer to paintings than

photographs, and I am pleased to think that perhaps I have truly come full circle.

I have worked extensively in most areas including food and drink,

tobacco, agriculture, airlines, cars, shipping, electrical, home-wares,

gold, diamonds, petro-chemicals and music.

I have had a lifetime love affair with portraiture and a passion for

landscapes that made itself known only 10 years ago.

I like to think that my style is constantly improving and changing

and when I look out of the window at a new day I think of my friend

Pascal Turcius and his words to me …“Carpe diem”
