Born in Chiba Japan, educated in the United Kingdom. Studied Information graphics at Harrow College of Art and then worked my way from a B/W processor to printer, printing for photographers, magazines and advertising agencies in a small custom B/W lab in London. Started a studio in London shooting for magazines, catalogues and advertising agencies before leaving to live in Port Au Prince, Haiti for 3 years at The Grand Hotel Oloffson. Moved to Manhattan and had a studio in Chelsea shooting advertising, catalogues and editorials, then moved downtown to Tribeca. After the first World Trade Center bomb in the garage I moved to St John in the United States Virgin islands and commuted to the US for assigments, eventually moving to Santa Barbara, California where I currently reside. Available for both personal and commercial work.
