30 years of being a professional photographer means up to 30% off prints!

Later this year I will be celebrating my 50th birthday and also my 30th year of being a photographer! Starting out in Selfridges in 1982 was a fantastic way to start my career and was a real baptism of fire. Madly busy from day one as a runner, while at the same time being trained […]
