I started my photography career in London working with journalist and stylist Chelita Salvatore shooting new and exciting upcoming talent that 90’s London was full of, we shot them for the various publications she worked for. During this time I rented a studio in the Kings Road and it was there that my interest in portrait photography really developed and became my focus.

Eventually marriage and children drew me out of London to the country and my portrait photography subjects seemed to naturally transition from up and coming new creatives to brides, small children and parties in the Bystander section of Tatler - a fun if sometimes unpredictable cohort who provided me with plenty of experience in thinking on my feet and accommodating sometimes rapidly changing photo shoot requirements. A set of skills that proved invaluable when my jobs started to include the Polo.

Over the next 11 years I spent the summer months focused on the high goal teams at Cowdray Park Polo Club photographing players, horses, action and portraits documenting the trials and tribulations of the teams season. I spent most of that time working for the lead sponsor Jaeger Le-Coultre providing images for their sponsorship needs.

In 2010 I assisted Clare Milford Haven & Roger Chatterton Newman in editing the photographs for The Cowdray Park Polo Club: The Centenary Book a wonderful publication celebrating Cowdray Polo Clubs rich history - a job that included historical research and contemporary photography as well as working with an extensive library of old images.

I grew up with horses and they have always been central to who I am, so it is no surprise that more recently my photography career has evolved to focus on them. The old adage that “No time spent with horses is ever wasted” is my mantra. Photographing horses is a joyful experience, but just like portrait photography of people, to do them justice and capture their individuality is a challenge, something I am always working on.

I work very organically and try to avoid anything too formulaic or posed. No matter how large or small I am always open to a new photography adventure and would love to hear about your project ideas.
