Specialising in portrait and nightlife photography with a style consisting of colourful and energetic imagery.

Born in Hampshire and raised in Northern Ireland, he moved to Belfast and completed a degree in Visual Communication in 2009. While he specialises in portraiture, his work has also included fashion editorials and documentary - all of which connect to the main themes within his work.

His subjects have included people of all gender-identities, drag queens, artists, actors, musicians, freaks, Jedi knights, party boys and glamorous creatures.

“People fascinate me; who they are, what they look like, where they're from & why they do what they do.”

Capturing this has always been one of the main aims within his work, using aspects of the subjects personality and own creativity to influence its outcome.
