Welcome!
I began taking photographs in 1977. About 25 years later I went digital.
In January 2015 I began digitising the tens of thousands of images in my film archive.
I hope you enjoy the material here, almost all images are available to buy now via the shopping cart.
I'm available for most photography work, please contact me via the email link.
About
I took my first photographs in 1977 of Muddy Waters in Glasgow's legendary Apollo Theatre.
The bands then were absolutely live and very real; the security staff were tough and terrifying and there was no 'First 3 No Flash' rule. Accreditation was not much of a shield; when the headline act, Eric Clapton, took the stage the crowd rushed forward and, as they tried to regain order, a bouncer lashed out with his fist and broke my nose.
Since then I have photographed many of the world's greatest and most admirable musicians, particularly in the rock, jazz & blues idioms, my hearing has become severely impaired but my nose has mended.
Outside of music and theatre events I also work from my studio, specialising in portraiture, though I take on almost every job that comes my way.
