“I am not sure which came first, being nosey or an interest in ‘street photography’, but a fascination with people and the way they live their lives is why i enjoy the business so much.

I can’t hide behind lights and technology, i am reliant on a small camera, patience and lots of optimism. But what i get in return is the chance to make an honest picture which people know immediately is a genuine moment and which hopefully burrows deep into their memories.”
