About

Over the last 4 years I have amassed a portfolio of some of the worlds elite outfits as well as scouring the underground scene for my latest metal fix.

My work has been used for features in Rocksound, Metal Hammer, XYZ Magazine, Brighton SOURCE, A Short Fanzine About Rocking, Blam and online publications Thrash Hits, Drowned in Sound, Pitchfork, Live N Loud, Virtual Festivals and Truth Explosion.

My passion for supporting the British music community, in particular local scenes following the ethos of punk pioneers of the 80s DC Hardcore movement gives me determination and passion to assist in raising the profile of unsigned acts in any way I can, whether it is my primary objective of photography or writing.

In 2001 whilst working as sound engineer and promoter at The Forum – Tunbridge Wells, I started n0v3lty Promo, a project on booking shows for artists on the basis of scene-to-scene gig swaps and consultancy on self promotion. At the end of it’s 1 year existence I had worked with almost 100 UK acts, booked full UK tours with Laruso, Aconite Thrill and King Lifting, clocked thousands of miles and even had a meeting with Sony BMG executives about signing an artist to their roster.

I believe in music, the power it can have and the effects on peoples lives. My own passion is what drives me to spread the word of good music through everything I do, photography is a visual outlet for that gospel, one which I try to make as effective and have as much impact as possible.
