I have been a photographer for over 15 years. After leaving school I worked for a freelance photographer, developing his work in the darkroom. I was also assigned to cover events for the Manchester Evening News, Warburton’s, Reebok, Bolton Wanderers and local youth clubs. During this time I completed my BTEC national diploma in Photography and my Foundation Studies in Art and Design.

My next job was for The Bolton Evening News where I was a trainee photographer. I worked for the paper covering News, Sports and Features for 12 years finishing as a Senior Photographer, with capabilities of running the picture desk. During this time I also attained my NVQ level 4 in Photography and my NCTJ in photo journalism.

Since 2002, I have been lecturing Photography at Bolton Community College, during this period, I have gained my PGCE certificate in teaching.

I am currently freelancing for companies covering commercial work for David Lloyd Leisure, Christies Hospital, Cancer Research, Fraser Eagle Coaches to name but a few and am building up a thriving wedding portfolio and photography business.
