BEFORE TEACHING ...

I have 20 years experience as a professional photographer working for the world’s top newspapers and magazines. I established one of London’s first Interactive Communications companies

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS ...

My career achievements include winning Sports Photographer of the Year and a World Press Prize. Another highlight was spending time with Nelson Mandela and Mike Tyson in the same week.

INSPIRATION...

I was inspired by Julian Pettifer OBE, an English television journalist who was voted BAFTA 'Reporter of the Year' for his coverage of the war in Vietnam in 1968.

What I love about photography is the ability to jump into extraordinary people’s lives or to be at the centre of extraordinary events.
