I photograph the moment before you remember to smile. Based in St Albans, just outside London, I shoot the real thing: the unguarded look, the laugh that catches you off guard, the small detail that actually tells the story. Twenty years photographing documentary, editorial, travel and family life taught me the same lesson every time: the best frame is always the one nobody knew I was taking. I've covered corporate events and family milestones, but I work best when I disappear. No posing, no "say cheese", just a camera following your day as it actually happens. Whether it's your first time in a new city or a family trip you want to remember exactly as it felt, I'm there to catch it, not stage it.
