Portfolio at http://www.76dc.co.uk/ My work has regularly appeared in magazines and exhibitions, including Dazed and Confused, New Scientist, Foto8 and the Home for Good: New York Photo Festival. I'm proud to have been in at the beginning of the self-publishing revolution, self-publishing a series of books of my work, with words by longterm collaborator, poet Paul Summers. I have presented on university programmes and assisted on portfolio reviews. Most recently, as staff photographer at Finisterre I have been capturing and documenting the many moments of the brand through the years, from behind the scenes supplier and sourcing stories to illuminating the hidden aspects around cold water surfing on photo shoots around the world. After developing a consistency of documentary style brand imagery, more recently I lead a creative team in art direction and production of photo shoots for all product lines.
