About Me And My Work

I was born in London in 1953. I studied photography at Manchester Metropolitan University’s school of photography. Since then i have lived and worked in Spain, France and Holland, and am now based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

I work primarily as an independent photographer, but often collaboratively or in close connection with other artists and arts organisations. Amongst these is the Ted Hughes Arvon Centre at Lumb Bank, and poet and playwright Amanda Dalton. Most recently, both the National Theatre and the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester have used and commissioned images from my colour work.

The writers’ portraits are published internationally by the press and publishers.

Many of the photographs have been exhibited in galleries in the UK, while others are in collections held by:

• The Arvon Foundation
• Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris
• Dean Clough Art Collection, Halifax
• Sheffield University Fine Art Collection
• The National Poetry Library, London
• Arts Council of Wales, Cardiff
