Born in Bow in the East End of London and been a professional freelance photographer for many years covering Royalty press / corporate / social events, studio & location portraiture.

Major sporting and Royal Charity events such as the Wimbledon tennis fortnight, celebrity pro-am golf tournaments, football matches, the Royal Variety Shows, Save the Children events & The Royal Film Premiers have all featured in my professional work.

Over a period of approx.: 3 years I was a reportage photographer on various European and World luxury cruises recording and documenting the life & time of the staff and passengers, showing both sides of life on board a luxury cruise.

I've held numerous exhibitions to help raise money for various charities most notably the highly acclaimed collection "Images of Britain" held in London's Soho.

This exhibition was made up of powerful, evocative black & white images with locations ranging from London Essex, Kent & the North East of England, many of the cityscapes, seascapes, and dockland areas were captured long before re-development.

Most of the captured scenes have now unfortunately completely disappeared entirely, in some of the most deprived areas of Britain.

In the mid 90€™s I started work on a quite unique photographic book called €œICONS OF LONDON€ it was to fuse together icons from the hard world of the villains with famous iconic London locations.

Infamous names from the 4 corners of London such as Freddie Foreman, Roy Shaw, Tony Lambrianou, Laurie O'Leary, Charlie Richardson, Dave Courtney, Bruce Reynolds and Frankie Fraser to name but a few were to be photographed against some of London€™s most famous backdrops.

The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, The Mint, Buckingham Palace, Westminster, and The Blind Begger was just some of the locations that were to be photograph.

Unfortunately and sadly with the untimely death of both Tony Lamrianou and Laurie O'Leary meant the book was never to be.

In 2006 I establishing the ZigZag modelling agency and in 2009 the Tribute 2 a Legend charitable trust - a charity dedicated to supporting young adults who have live with and overcome cancer through our Legends Football Academies

My strengths are - A typical East End cheeky chappie, who knows how to survive, very loyal to those who earn my loyalty, 100% confident in any company, great at networking, always creating new and radical fund-raising ideas.
