Local staff are a key part of any foreign power's mission; from acting as intermediaries and overcoming the cultural and language barriers to more mundane tasks. LSI was established to help the rights of such staff both in their home nations and also, in extremis, in assisting them to leave and resettle should the situation arise.

I have taken the portraits of Condoleeza Rice, Pierre Berge (founder of luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent), the CEOs of Gucci, Zegna, Hublot, Olympians, Master Distillers, artists, craftspeople and politicians.I am an experienced editorial photographer in the British luxury sector including Savile Row tailors, shirt and shoe manufacturers, the auto, watch and leather goods industries. I was asked to give the tour of Savile Row for the inaugural London Craft Week.I have covered multiple fashion weeks in London, Milan and Paris as well as completing fashion shoots and advertising campaigns such as David Gandy for Aspinal of London and Italian brand Kiton. One of my works is in Tom Ford 002 coffee table book.My portrait project Armed with Words focused both on Afghan interpreters, who had served with the British Army, resettled to the UK and also military veterans who became political activists to help these interpreters. The project was nominated for the Prix Pictet Human cycle as well as receiving awards at Prix de la Photographie, Paris, Monochrome Awards, ND Awards, and Tokyo International Foto Awards. The project was also exhibited in London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Cambridge, York and Berlin and also mentioned in Hansard.For my last project, One Year, I visited locations once a month for a year. These twelve frames, one per month and then combined to create one final photograph per image, capture seasonal changes, changes in the weather, the light, and the locations themselves.

Head of Visuals for Billionaire.com – an innovative online publication catering to UHNWIs globally. I was part of the founding team responsible for bringing the publication through from concept to market with my focus on the look and feel of the visual content. Original content was a key component which required an eye for detail and deadlines as well as being able to photograph any and all subjects and topics.

The MSSG was a British Army unit tasked with civil-military work in conflict zones or unstable areas. The Group operated in theatres and environments inaccessible to civilian organisations with the aim to be a hybrid of shift and blend methodology between military, civilian and NGO thinking and behaviours.

I commissioned into the Royal Artillery and deployed to Iraq in 2003, as the first peace keeping mission after Gulf War 2, eight working days out of training. After a second deployment to Cyprus in 2004, as part of the UN peace keeping force, I attended the Defence School of Languages Beaconsfield in 2005 to learn Farsi, deploying in 2006 to Afghanistan as a military interpreter. I returned to Afghanistan in 2008 as a mentor to the Afghan National Army before leaving in 2009.
