About

I’ve worked at the BBC for many years in a number of photographic roles, from the archive to the news desk via the darkroom.  The majority of my work has been for BBC News and currently I’m the Picture Editor and Photographer for the News website, working closely with the journalists on news stories and features.

I also write a blog on photography which you can see on the BBC:
