How I got into photography
I stumbled into it, after studying Religion and Philosophy at SOAS university I took some time off and travelled, upon my return someone sponsored my first exhibition and it went on from there. Within a month or so I was first assistant to Robert Fairer for American Vogue and we were travelling all over the world photographing all the international fashion shows.
