It's all about me...

I left university in 1998 with a BA(hons) in Photography and a portfolio full of "arty" prints. My work at that time had yet to involve the digital process or electronic manipulation. Upon leaving education I found myself to be utterly unemployable, so I began a freelance career within photography. In the first instance I assisted established photographers on commercial shoots. In 2000 I started my own brand of freelance imaging under the name of "Savagephoto" and also began working for the Surrey Institute of Art and Design within the Photographic and Media technical departments.

I continued to develop my own commercial practise in tandem while managing the transition from traditional practises to digital imaging. I consider myself fortunate to have worked in photography through the last decade of a digital revolution. I believe this experience benefits my photography and teaching style. As a result I'm equally at home in the darkroom or using digital techniques and Photoshop.

I continue to develop my own work to produce saleable images for commercial and social purpose. Technical excellence is always paramount in my work. I have developed digital imaging skills to a level that I am an (ACE) Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop.

My photographic freelance activity continues to involves catalogue work, web images, model portfolios utilising both studio and location. My teaching is the fastest developing area of my skill set and I presently have courses running at both the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham and West Dean College. I'm also working as a consultant on some really exciting and fantastic projects. Please view the short course link on this site for further info.

I'm presently studying Post-Graduate study (Masters Degree in Photography).
