anywhere. I like the
challenge of working with
nature and working with
what is there, making it
work rather than controlling
the environment to suit my
needs.
Have there been any other
photographers who have
influenced your work or
who have inspired you?
Not really, there are some
great photographers
but I don’t really look at
individuals. I just take note
of things I love. I do like Tim
Walker a lot though.
You’ve had the pleasure of
photographing the Prince
of Wales, Charles. What
would you say has been
your biggest achievement
so far?

That was really quite
amazing, I am not the kind
of person to get blown away
by famous people, I treat
everyone the same, but there
was a certain aura about him
that felt really special. He
was a really nice person and

it was a great achievement
for me. I think achievement
is so relative, as you do
better each thing becomes
your biggest. For example,
your first editorial, your
first cover etc. You just keep
moving forwards. As long as
I am creating I am happy, as
they say.
Lastly, what are you
currently working on?
I am working on a video (it’s
my first) with some footage I
took in Los Angeles and then
I am planning on some really
exciting shoots for HungerTV,
with another photographer
David Lehenbauer so look
out for those. †
