Your tutor

A lifelong passion for light.

For forty years, light has been my craft, first in BBC television and then in portrait photography.

I began as a BBC cameraman, became a lighting director and taught at the BBC's training academy in Evesham. Everything I teach today grows from those years: simple methods, used with intent, to make photographs with depth and soul.
