Some background about me and how to get in touch:

I am a British, married to a Japanese lady and we have two children and now live permanently in Japan. I started taking pictures aged seven and had my first photos published in 1991. From 1991 until 2001 I worked in the music business in the UK, as Press Director for Nimbus Records and then as General Manager for Black Box Music in London. During that time my music photography was published in magazines and newspapers across the world. I also photographed Peter Gabriel's WOMAD Festivals for some years and in 2002 was chief photographer and photo editor for the official website of Glastonbury Festival. In 2002 I started my own graphic and web-design business in the UK. Since moving to Japan I do less of that and concentrate 99% of my time on photography. I work in Japan as a commercial photographer and photojournalist. I am freelance but also under contract to the Nippon News agency.

Clients for my photography include: [UK] BBC Music Magazine, Classic fM Magazine, Songlines Magazine, The Independent newspaper, Gramophone Magazine, Glastonbury Festival, WOMAD Festival, Nimbus Records, Black Box Music, BBC Online, Wayfarers Travel. [Japan] Metropolis Magazine, Tokyo Chiropractic College, JapanToday, Japan National Tourist Organisation [Italy] La Repubblica newspaper [USA] Ellipsis Arts Music, Berkeley University, World Music Magazine, Dirty Linen Magazine [Australia] Auto Salon Magazine and [Singapore] Torque Magazine.

My commercial work gets commissioned by clients for various uses; their corporate websites, annual reports and brochures, signage, and in their business premises for display as prints and large-scale murals. I have also recently shot a number of commercial portraits for clients and I regularly shoot publicity photographs for musicians.

I also sell my work to private individuals via RedBubble.com.

I have photographed travel and documentary work in the UK and Europe but now concentrate on Japan, having shot throughout the country but particularly in Tokyo, Hiroshima, Hokkaido and Kyoto.

My daily photoblog attracts more than 25,000 visitors a month and contains a good cross-section of my recent and current work.

I was recently interviewed for the ephotos.com online photography magazine. Click here to visit that article.
