By day I run a company, but photography provides me with a wonderful creative outlet. More than that, I'm somewhat fascinated by the question: how do you add something meaningful to a world so very full of photographers?

At one level, perhaps that's not important. We create to express ourselves, and that has its own value. But I do want to create images that have an impact, and perhaps tackle things in a way that is my own. I'm enjoying the evolution of my own style as I pursue that goal; even now I can see marked differences between my earlier and more recent work.

I do tend to have a theme, which perhaps helps. I enjoy beauty and, well, for convenience let's call it fetish/bdsm. Having said that, I also like opera, wind in my hair and fine wine, so I'd rather call it a rich experience of life!

I'm extremely fortunate to have a model girlfriend (read that how you will!), but I and indeed we are also keen to meet decent people with a glint in their eye - potential models and friends alike. Online is good - real life is even better
