'ChronicleUK' is the name on many of my online accounts, as it used to be my 'brand' which has since evolved alongside myself as an artist.
I began my photographic career shooting events, bands, live gigs, weddings; I would Chronicle things in photographs and Video.
As I progressed, and through the years, I eventually photographed Celebrities, Gold medal Olympians, Actors and Actresses, had my shots featured in many tabloids and websites.
The last 6 years [Pre-Covid] has seen me focus on my work, and travel around the world 2 and a half times, around South America, to Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, Singapore, Russia, Australia, Indonesia, Madagascar, Easter Island, Thailand, Myanmar, India,The Amazon Rainforest, All over Europe, The Caribbean, Egypt...the list goes on...and on...
What drives me is the quest to see the world, and capture it in my way.
