Photography
I studied photojournalism at the London College of Printing in 1989 and also joined the Independent Photography Project in Greenwich. During the late 80s and early 90s I worked for a number of local newspapers and as a photography tutor in South London.
My photography was exhibited at several group exhibitions. I recently had a photograph published in the Guardian Newspaper have photographs featured regularly in local newspapers and magazines.
