He started and still uses a film camera for over 40 years, although he was this experience he only has a diploma and not a university degree. The reason for this is because when he was younger his family were not supportive and did not encourage him to take up a career in photography, but he still decided to complete a diploma in photography and once he had done that he travelled, which inspired him too take alot of documentary styled images of whatever he came across.
He has many inspirations, two of them bing Tony Ray Jones, Casper David Fredreick and Barney Bubbles, he said they inspired him and thinks everybody could take some kind of influence from him. He had work with Barney Bubbles on many of his portraits as he illustrated them and also took many portraits of him in his flat using items that he found around. Although his lighting and many studio parts were made by himself as he didnt have alot of money. He always knew that he wanted to be a photographer and even though he knew this is took alot of time for people to acknowledge him and his work.
