I have been taking photos since the age of 14, but since 1998 have been working as a freelance photographer shooting mostly sports. My day job was as a web application developer for the UK's best-known distance-teaching institution, which also involved some photography. I was a moderator and marker on the first seven presentations of the Open University's massively successful short course T189 Digital Photography: Creating and Sharing Better Images.

I switched from Minolta to Canon when their first digital SLR was announced and haven't looked back. I now use Canon EOS bodies combined with their L-series lenses due to their very high build quality. For sending images to the media from the field, I use a Windows laptop running Downloader Pro, BreezeBrowser and Photoshop Elements software, together with my iPhone to transmit JPG files to my clients.

For a couple of seasons from January 2006, I covered Premiership, Championship, League and FA Cup soccer for two different sports picture agencies. You won't see any of these photos here, though, due to the strict rules placed on their use.

Around 2011 I got into motorsport in a big way. I took my ARDS test, obtained my race license and from 2012 I raced for four seasons in a Porsche Boxster, firstly in the BRSCC Porsche Championship then in Britcar. As of 2015 I hold an MSA International 'C' Race license. I don't race as much now but when I do, its in a 40-year old Porsche 924 in the CALM All Porsche Trophy. I now shoot motorsport on an almost weekly basis, for various teams, websites, event programmes and championships. I also covered motocross and from October 2021 I started covering ice hockey again.

I have recently added the following paragraph to most of my image captions so that there can be no doubt over their status - it seems that Yahoo have been using some images uploaded to Flickr in advertising without the copyright owners' consent:
