music of the world

My grandmother was a music teacher who taught me many melodies. As a teenager I had a great time playing guitar and electric bass in a rock and blues band, which gave me a foretaste of stage dynamics.

I have since been photographing performing arts, and regularly take commissions from recording labels, PR and touring agencies, promoters and magazines to cover live musical events, festivals, dance and theatre.
