Being the third of a five generation theatrical family, my career has always been involved with the creation of images for one kind of audience or another. My late father, who managed London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane, introduced me to photography having got me to take photographs of the family from when I was just able to hold a camera. He gave me my first camera, a Kodak Box Brownie, for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II which I went to with the school.

On finishing formal education at 15 years old I started in television with Associated Television, a major UK network company, initially as a Post Boy then a Cameraman at ATV Elstree for many years. Later on in my television career I became a Lighting Director for Central Television before going freelance and now give Lighting & Camerawork tuition in the UK and abroad. At other times I have been a Theatre Lighting Designer, pop group manager, journalist and author.

Today I am mostly a photographer and operate predominantly in travel but also shoot portraits, dance and music with images appearing continually in numerous publications worldwide. I am now amalgamating the various strands that have made up my career by creating videos with images, combining them with music and sound effects which are on YouTube and Vimeo.
