How did you become a photographer?
By accident. I was a pro musician. Got drunk after a recording session and bought a camera
How did you get into shooting headshots specifically?
Necessity. I was beauty photographer way back and a recession hit business hard. I had taken pictures of Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley and thought actors need pictures taken. Let's have a go.
Where do you shoot?
Historically big studios, but now in the comfort of my own home using daylight and mixed lighting.
How would you define your style?
What style? I have shot all of them over the years. Nowdays honest and gritty.
Tell us what you like most about your job?
Earning enough money to go on holiday. I quite like people as well :)
And tell us what you like the least?
Bull!@£$. This job and the acting profession is knee deep in it.
Who is your photography hero?
Bresson and Albert Watson
What track is most likely to be playing in your studio, or on your iPod?
Snarky Puppy
Jaffa Cakes or Digestive?
I’m easy
Wine or Beer?
Both. Don’t forget gin as well.
Cats or Dogs?
Neither
How would you like to be remembered?
I’m not vain enough to think I would be remembered but I hope my wife and daughter would have fond memories!
