My role today is as a photographer and I operate mostly in travel but also portrait, 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 DVDs with images, combining them with music and sound effects to create virtual videos.

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

On finishing formal education at 15 years old I started in television with Associated Television, a major commercial UK network company, initially as a Post Boy then a Cameraman for many years. Subsequently I became a Lighting Director for Central Television before going freelance and now give Lighting & Camerawork tuition in the UK and abroad.

Throughout a career in the visually creative aspects of television, photography has run parallel and there has been a substantial crossover.
