Thank you for spending some time here at my site!

I fell in love with photography during my past life as a retoucher for the UK's largest publishing house. When complaining about the quality of the photography one day, a workmate suggested I buy a camera and 'show us how easy it is'. So I did. And it wasn't....! But my passion was fired and from that day I knew I wanted to be a photographer. I realized that dream by first studying to photograph weddings, the old way - with film - and then from there my passion grew to encompass portraits.

Today, my studio is located in NE Portland, Oregon, and I shoot weddings and portraits of babies, kids, families and stunning one-of-a-kind artworks.

Most photographers these days own a copy of Photoshop...in fact, most teenagers do too...but I have been involved with digital imaging since it's inception in the early 90s, and rather than being dragged to it kicking and screaming I have helped lead the charge. With over 20 years of retouching experience, your portraits are in safe hands.

I moved to America in the summer of 2005, and after a brief spell in San Francisco, now call Portland my home. I am the proud father of two awesome boys.

 

Photographers HATE having their picture taken, so these are rare: Looking geeky with an old girlfriend (1985? sorry Karen!) Asleep on a train (1988) Hard at work (1991) Tenerife with Da Boyz (1992ish Note only two of us are smiling!)

 

 

With my boy: Learning to walk (2007) Feeding (20067) On the beach (2007) Walking on Father's day (2009) July 4th (2009)
