Biography

I am an equine photographer and have recently released a book in collaboration with author Tamsin Pickeral. The Majesty of the Horse is a celebration of over 70 of the world's most wonderful breeds of horse. I work closely with galleries in the UK and in Dubai, where I exhibit annually in group shows. I have spent the last few years building a profound portfolio specialising but not limiting myself to horses, and am enjoying exploring the niche of equestrianism in the fine art photography world. I am building confidence and a modest collection of private clients, for whom I create large format (generally) pieces of horse 'art' for their homes as well more specialised photogravure etchings - an area I am working on developing in forthcoming months. I have a graphic design and marketing background and have been specialising in horses since 2007.
