As a busy, London-based photographer, fly-fishing represents the perfect antidote to
the frantic world of photographing children for advertising. The solitude and opportunity
for reflection, combined with the chance to experience wild, remote and fabulously beautiful
locations around the globe act as the perfect counterpoint to the hectic world of the London
advertising scene.

I've been fishing since I was six years old. The third time I went, I caught my first fish
- a 6oz perch - we were both hooked. Since then, I've caught all kinds of crazy-looking
piscine beasties including huge salmon in Russia's arctic circle, peacock bass and
pirhanas in the amazon jungle and the prehistoric barramundi that infest the remote
waters of Australia's Northern Territories.

I've been making photographic images of fly-fishing for four years, working for clients
like Roxton Bailey Robinson and Frontiers, and travelling to worldwide destinations that
have included Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cuba, Ireland, Madiera, the Maldives, Mauritius,
New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Scotland, Tobago, the USA and Venezuela and have written
articles for publications such as Esquire, Trout and Salmon and the Farlows Magazine
(see articles).

In this time I have built up a large library of images, many of which are displayed
on the site. These images are available for commercial reproduction (click here) -
search the library or as fine art prints (click here) - print sales.
