About
INFORMATION

I’m a freelance concert and portrait photographer based in Manchester, UK.
I have shot live shows forRuled By Rock and Push To Fire. Along with Big Cheese Magazine which I was published in last 4 issues.
I focus mainly on portrait work, location or studio. I’ve worked with some great people and will continue to do so.
I am available for additional editorial and commercial assignments in the UK and further.

ASSIGNMENTS
I’ve shot music for the bands, music for the fans and music for myself. Yet I still crave more.
What’s that you say? You want photos that stand high above the norm and kick you in the face with visual sweetness, I’m the guy for the job.
So if you need photos for yourself, your band or even your drunk Uncle (everyones got one) I’m positive we can work something out.
