About
I’m a photographer, location scout, dad, cyclist, and lover of the wilderness. I’m particularly passionate about using photography to connect people and to support mental and physical health.
As a location scout and manager I’ve worked with some of the most respected talents in the creative world and have long-standing relationships with many of them. In 2022/3 I spent almost 6 months in Colombia as the location scout for the forthcoming “Paddington In Peru” - directed by the amazing Dougal Wilson.
I ran the location companies Amazing Space and Location Partnership until 2018 when I went freelance again with my location management work, and in 2020 opened a new venture concentrating on locations in the South West of England - based in Dorset but covering all surrounding counties.
My photographic work won awards from the London Photographic Association and was displayed at the Association of Photographers gallery when shortlisted for their Open Awards. In 2023 one of my photos was selected for the British Journal of Photography’s “Portrait of Humanity” book.
During lockdown in 2020 I set up Bridport Lockdown - a community project bringing together images and stories to document my home town during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. This has become a growing collection of over 2,500 images sent in by more than 300 local people and will become part of a COVID-19 archive at both Bridport Museum and Dorset History Centre.
Work with a local mental health charity in 2022 and a renewed love of portrait photography led to a new long-term project exploring how we use nature and the outdoors to support our mental health.
