I was born in Salisbury, England and spent my childhood on the family farm. My wanderlust led me to leave the farm and head for the bright lights of London where I joined the fire brigade. Over the following years I lived and worked in Austin, Texas, New York City, Milan, Paris and London again before returning to New York where I've lived since 2003. I kept myself busy with a great variety of jobs before becoming a photographer and shot my first commission,a portrait of Lydia Lunch, in 1993.

I've worked for many publications including The Times Magazine, The Telegraph Magazine, Monocle, The Observer New Review, Carl*s Cars, Wired, Time Out, The Independent On Sunday Review, Q Magazine, Glamour, NME, Intersection, Style And The Family Tunes, D2, Arena, Orange Life, Scotland On Sunday Magazine, Icon, Tokion, Vision, Seed, Uncut, The Wire, Bang Art, Loaded, Vox, Trace, True, Straight No Chaser, The Scotsman Magazine, Kerrang! and The Big Issue.

I've been commissioned by all of the world's major record labels as well as several well known brands including Nike.

Seven of my photographs are in the permanent collection of The National Portrait Gallery.

Limited edition prints of my work are available from Clic Gallery in New York City, East Hampton, St Barts and Cannes.

For commercial assignments I am managed in New York by Webber Represents.

My celebrity portraits are syndicated through Retna Pictures.

Many of my other portraits and landscapes are now available for licensing through Gallery Stock.

I live in New York City and am currently photographing America and its inhabitants.
