Politics & News Photography
Telling Incredible Stories
The grounding for my career, press and photojournalism remains one of my greatest passions.
I love telling stories through images that must immediately capture my audience and convey the key point or headline with just a glance. From covering a village fete to a visit from the royal family, news photography is a varied, exciting subject that I’ll always enjoy.
