I was born in hull, england in 1968, and grew up in newcastle.
I studied engineering in leeds, but spent more time in the darkroom
than hunched over the drawing board, hence what I do now...
In 1992 I spent a year in tanzania with tearfund, as an engineer,
and when I returned to the uk, they took me on as a photographer.
Over the next eight years I reported from over 30 countries, from
war zones, like sierra leone, liberia, rwanda, and sudan, as well
as many very poor but more peaceful countries, including mali,
bangladesh, eritrea, and cambodia.
In 2000 I moved to sheffield, uk, and spent two years working for a
national press agency, covering hard news, pr and features.
In 2002 I went freelance and have since worked all over the north of england for national papers, across the uk for national charities, and travelled widely for international ngos.
I’m married and have two children, and live in a very creative and diverse part of sheffield - see our community newspaper here.
If you’ve got any questions, do get in touch -if I don’t get back to you for a few days, I may be away, but I will get back to eventually.
Thanks for visiting!
