When I was a kid I’d visit my Dad on set and dream of growing up to be a movie director. I worked in various departments in Film and Television until I was 21, when I became interested in pursuing a career in photography.
Since then I've had the pleasure of being the Still Photographer and Gallery Photographer on numerous feature films, short films, TV series and music videos.
For over 30 years I've also been touring with and photographing the biggest names in rock music – Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age, Billy Talent to name a few.
After years of doing both I can easily draw parallels between the two. Capturing iconic moments on tour and on set both require impeccable timing, stealth and just as importantly, tact and diplomacy.
Shooting stills on a set with A-List talent and crew is just like being on stage with Foo Fighters in front of a sold out crowd. Unable to control the lighting or performance, I adapt to ever-changing scenarios quietly and invisibly.
I took the above photo of Johnny Depp on the set of 21 Jumpstreet when I was 15.
