Kerri in bed with her book. I don’t get to see my sister Kerri very often because of distance. When she last visited I asked to take her portrait and wondered where she would be most comfortable. Her reply… ‘My favourite place in the world, is in bed with my book’.

After Art college, a photography degree, and four years as a London advertising photographer's assistant, I set up as a professional photographer… Then ran away with the Circus... Fifteen years later, after multiple world tours as a slack-rope walker - while continuing to photograph other performers for their show promo material. I settled in Hackney, London, as a Portrait photographer … It is an ongoing journey of discovery that still inspires me to continue photographing people and their stories.
