As I look upon the work of other photographers, I am struck by the notion that each photograph represents their unique mark on history. It's like hearing a voice saying, "I existed, and these moments were significant to me."

My passion for photography began in 1977 with a Yashica FX-2. Since those early days, my work has been published in various British newspapers, tabloids, and military periodicals, including The Times, The Daily Telegraph, and The Daily Mail.
I have also worked as a freelance photographer for the Military Picture Library International, providing images for numerous books on military topics. My photography is permanently displayed at the Falklands War Memorial at Pangbourne Naval College in Berkshire, England, and at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford.
I have a deep appreciation for military history, particularly the American Civil War, which drives me to travel across the United States and beyond, capturing moments that merge history with the art of photography.
