As well as taking photographs I like to think my expertise extends to the eating of pizza. It was the perfect storm of my skill sets the day I photographed Ponti’s Italian Kitchen for their new website.

One of areas targeted by the Prince’s Regeneration Summit is Burslem (one of the six towns that make up Stoke-on-Trent, doncha know?).

It’s great to watch a performer in complete control. He’s is very much like his dry on screen persona in real life too. I photographed him…

I covered the glittering ASCAP Awards and photographed Annie Lennox with her award. She used this picture on her Facebook page. I am always keen to see how many likes I get with all my posts and get excited if my popularity count makes it into double figures. This picture on Annie’s page is currently at 7,192…

The Berkeley Group did a study on how to measure the social sustainability of new housing developments and wrote a report called Creating Strong Communities.
