I began photographing 8 years ago as a hobby which quickly turned into a professional career. I could always see photos that i wanted to take but didnt always have the equipment or the opportunity so i began putting together my own shoots and working with local businesses to create the images I had always wanted to take and that people wanted to see for themselves. I love working with people which can sound cliched but its true. Just by speaking to and listening to the people that I photograph you hear the most wonderful stories and whilst you may spend a short period of time together, people begin to open up and share their stories.Aside from published commissions, I share my images on my Instagram or Facebook pages but never without permission. I have also had my work published in national press such as the independent and the Guardian as well as local publications such as the Argus or local Wedding magazines.
