I first developed my interest in photography while living and working at the Banff Centre, Alberta, in the 1980’s. After returning to the UK I spent five years working as a photographic technician in the offshore oil industry and moved to Barbados in 1992. I live there for most of the year and specialise in architecture and interiors. I’ve photographed over five hundred of the Caribbean’s most prestigious hotels, resorts and private residences and to date have shot nine books. I spend two to three months a year in Red Bay on the beautiful Bruce Peninsula which is how The Cottage Alphabet got started.
