Why Choose My Mentorship?

With over 35 years of professional photography, my journey has been anything but ordinary. I’ve worked on assignments across nearly 60 countries, collaborated with global organizations, and created images for renowned editorial and commercial campaigns. From a portrait in the National Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection to solo exhibitions launched by a UK Prime Minister, I bring expertise and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in this ever-evolving industry.

I’ve mentored photographers from across the globe, helping them overcome creative blocks, develop standout projects, and transform doubt into confidence. Now, I’d love to help you do the same.
