Portrait and Events Photographer.

 

 

I achieved my ARPS  (Associate of The Royal Photographic Society) in professional documentary photography early 2010 and went full time with photography in 2011, specialising in events and portraiture, before relocating to North Cyprus, in 2018.

Before 2018 I ran an art blog for Photo Hastings for a few years and did work with important local community art spaces, including The Towner Gallery and The De La Warr Pavilion on the south east coast.  I have also produced for five years a calendar for Cabaret Vs Cancer Charity.


I had some eclectic club residencies in London with avant-garde and cabaret nights, as well as been the resident photographer for the award winning dark cabaret night, The Double R Club, for over 5 years.

 

I have been published in all sorts of publications, on and offline, including Elle, Tatler, Vogue, Erotic Review, Et Alors, Vive Le Rock and Classic Rock.

I've regularly exhibited my work too, which I think important as a process for any photographer. Now and then I have worked on film projects for music videos or community films, and even less rarely event coverage.  I wrote and taught some photography courses, for all levels, and did practical workshops with university students in the UK.

In 2018, disillusioned after the Brexit vote, I left London and came to live in Cyprus, which is my ancestral home, although I was born in London and lived there all my life. I have continued to seek out people to photograph and love photography as much now as I have ever done. I am developing my art practice and projects as well as offering mentorship to people I come across. Cyprus has unique art opportunities and is very much different to the island I visited in the 80's. The numerous universities have brought diverse people from all over the world and with them a mixing pot of ideas.

Rustem Kitap Evi is a gallery, bookshop and cafe championing the arts situated in the divided capital. I had a big exhibition there in 2024 that lasted all summer.  Find out more on the blog post.

I look forward to seeing where Cyprus goes in the future and being a part of it.  I have been keeping a blog since I came, do have look.

Thanks for visiting. See a few photos of me on the job from over the years Here
