I got my first camera, a Brownie 127, when I was 8. From then on my career was clear.

After art school in the late sixties I worked as a stills assistant, where I worked mainly in fashion and advertising and then as a stills photographer specialising in music.

One day I was asked if I knew anyone who could film a concert. Of course I did!

I moved to film completely and shot documentaries for TV, 10 years or so of 20/20 for ABC and an awful lot of music promos.

In 1985 I was shooting a documentary about the making of the Pirelli calendar. It was being photographed by Terence Donovan who liked the way I lit and asked if I shot commercials.

After concentrating on commercials for 20 years I've now started to shoot more drama, my first major motion picture is Mutant Chronicles which I spent from May to October 2006 working on, shooting main unit and then model and second unit.

This film was shot digitally and I was able to draw on my many years experimenting with digital systems, I shot the launch material for the Viper system nearly 5 years before Mutants was shot!

A sideline in the last few years has been advising people on digital technology.

I've recently shot "The Dark Country" in 3D and digital cameras with Thomas Jane both directing and starring and am just about to start shooting Stree Fighter in Thailand this time on film :-)
