About me

Who I am

I love what I do and I hope it shows in my photography style. With more than 8 years of experience in the field, there is no challenge too big or too small and I dedicate my utmost energy to every project I take on.
I am based in Stoke-On-Trent, and regularly travel to Manchester, Warrington, Preston and Liverpool to name a few,  mainly concentrating on events in the North West/Midlands, but I have travelled and am willing to travel further if necessary.

The main types of photography I enjoy are sports and music festivals/gigs, but I can cover a  wide range which include team photo shoots, individual and family photo shoots, photo journalism, events and advertising, travel and tourism and parties. 

I was  founder of Congleton Camera Club where I ran events and club nights in Congleton for local amateur photographers. It ran from June 2017 until 2022. Sadly the club has now ended as it took up quite a lot of personal time for the admins.

I have had two front page cover photos in Staffordshire Life magazine.

I am a photographer at Irlam Live - a great festival in Irlam, Manchester.

I am a photographer at Rewind Festival for The Chronicle.

I am the official photographer (and sponsor) for Congleton Town F.C. and photographer for City Of Stoke Ladies FC and provide many images to both teams for their social media pages and programmes and the local newspapers. I am also the official photographer for the brilliant John Fenton Technical Soccer Coaching in Manchester.

I take photos for a local estate agents, and now I also make videos with music of the houses, something I have really enjoyed since January 2021.

I also work freelance for The Chronicle newspapers in Congleton, Alsager and my home town of Biddulph.

I take event photographs for my local council in Congleton.

I photograph the dress rehearsals of theatre productions on stage. It's great enjoying the show whilst working!

I have worked freelance for The Sentinel, on their Friday Night Live page and also some local special events and they also use my sports images periodically.

I was photographer on behalf of NWCFL (North West Counties Football League) for the FA Cup Vase Final 2021 at Wembley, something I was really honoured to take part in.

I take photos at 'Sellebrity' charity matches around the country. I always look forward to hanging out with the stars on the pitch and taking as many photos as I can for them to share.

 I covered the 2022 Women's FA Cup 4th round match between Notts Forest and Man City, for The Guardian national newspaper, again something that I was really honoured to take part in.
