Started out in the film business after Art School, but after being sacked by Ridley Scott for running the rushes of Alien upside down, I returned to my first love, photography, moved to Italy, and set up a studio in 1988. Worked as a fashion, portrait, and advertising photographer until I started my own gallery in Orvieto, Umbria in 2007. I sell my limited edition prints taken since I started Art Photography as a sideline in 1987. Much of my work is parody, taking nudes by the old masters as my departure point. My pictures are in 'the best possible taste', and have been published in magazines around the world, such as the Sunday Times, London; South China Morning Post; Vanity Fair, Italy; Condé Nast, and others.
