My love of photography began when I was a child.  My Father gave me my first camera; a secondhand battered 126 camera that you could barely see through and had travelled with him through the Far East during his time in the Army.  I was hooked and my future career was determined by that little camera and my love of the pictures I took.  That very camera is still displayed pride of place in the studio as it was what started my lifelong love of photography.

After leaving school I went to college for two years to study Photography and I couldn't wait to set up my own studio after leaving college in 1988.  At first I photographed whatever work came along but mostly weddings and some press work, but my heart has always been in photographing people, interacting with them and seeing their personality and characters shine through in the pictures. 

In 1997 I finally opened my first high street studio and I've never looked back.  Our new studio on the Quayside in Newcastle is the culmination of years of planning experience and designing the perfect space to create the images I know people will want to hang in their homes.
