About Me

- I started taking photographs at eight years old using an old Kodak Brownie. By eighteen I'd been refused entry to Art College because of a lack of academic qualifications, worked in insurance, trained as a black and white printer, bought a 5 x 4 plate camera, moved to London and had worked for David Bailey & Herb Ritts among others. Soon I was assisting for many of the top editorial and advertising photographers in the country, as well as taking his own picture. I took my first pictures of models through Synchro Model Agency's Jonathan Phang and worked with Sarah Doukas at Storm Models as well as Models One and TakeTwo Management and specialized in fashion and beauty work. After this period I turned to portraits and following my first exhibition, HEADS, in 1999 I traveled to Hollywood where I diversified my career direction. Working as a script reader gave me an entre to the business and from there I became a writer/director, which fulfilled a long held sneaking-ambition to get into the film industry. Circa 2009 I'm running my own production company, Bullet Movies as director/producer/screen writer but I still continue with various photographic projects.
