I was born and raised in the United Kingdom, but began my
photojournalism career in North America stringing for The Associated
Press in Portland, Ore. From there I spent 10-years working as a staff
photographer on various daily newspapers in Oregon, Pennsylvania and New
Mexico before freelancing as a photojournalist.
I
have won a variety of awards from the Society of Professional
Journalists, Associated Press, World Press, National Press
Photographers' Association, Editor & Publisher and was nominated for
a Pulitzer Prize. I have also earned the Community Awareness Award from
Photographer of the Year International and the Golden Light Award for
my documentary work. Most recently, I was awarded an Honorable Mention
in the Deeper Perspective category of the International Photography
Awards, and won a first place with the Sony World Photography Awards.
