I hate that expression; "self made"
I just think it is extraordinarily arrogant. I could never  honestly refer to myself as a self made man.

It has all been the result from 40 plus years of interactions, conversations, wins, losses, ideas, successes and massive failures. 
I have been a professional wedding photographer for over a decade and it was an adventure that started with a friends wedding in 2011.

 From that moment to this one, there is a long list of events and adventures that have happened to create the artist I am now. There are far too many to list but they include an earthquake a battle with mental illness and a global pandemic. 

I grew up in the South of England and my career before photography was one of customer service. From First Class airline cabins to working as a Chauffeur for a hair salon in West London.

I learned what it truly meant to be of service to people. Until 2011 photography was just a hobby, but when I photographed that first wedding I discovered passion for capturing wedding imagery. 

As a self taught wedding photographer I am obsessed with my work and the creative process. This passion for what I do is reflected in my photographs. 

Someone once asked me "Are you a good photographer?" 

I replied "That's not for me to say, but I love it very much"

Self taught and self discovered,
but certainly
not self made.
