When we see things that we cannot explain, an assumption is often made that there is something or someone hidden behind the scenes pulling the strings. This assumption is the origin of faith.

I was born in London, England, and was drawn to photography at an early age. By my late teens I had migrated from photography into filmmaking and studied at The London Film School. It was many years later, long after the advent of digital photography, that my passion for the still image was rekindled and I returned to my first love - photography. My work is heavily influenced by the early surrealist painters, while the subject matter is often focused on existential sentiments.
