About / contact



hello. i am a london-based photographer and editor. i co-founded diy back in 2002, then a students’ distraction from coursework, now a monthly print magazine across the uk, as well as the website.


in addition to being diy's in-house photographer, i have also had my work published in the independent, libération, alternative press, kerrang!, rock sound and used both internally and externally by dr. martens. as well as photographing and editing, i also write, film, edit and publish video, produce the diy podcast, commission freelancers (both words and photos), and lots of bits ‘n pieces that belong on a linkedin profile, not here.


i can also build and design websites - every incarnation of the diy website between approx. 2007 and 2014 was by me.
