Welcome

I work mainly in the areas of sports and news photography but do work in other areas both as a freelance selling commercially through agencies and also by commission. Since January 2021 I also provide photographs and video using drones. See the AERIAL section for full details.

I hold Public Liability insurance for for both traditional and drone photography.
