1980: On tour with Discharge.
I didn’t quite nail the focus on this shot. But in my defence, controlling a heavy camera with a manual focus lens and a bloody great big flashgun, was pretty challenging back in the day. Not to mention the pitch black punk club and copious amounts of ale!

Late 70s: Castle Gardens Leicester
Punks in the park, playing British Bulldog
On the receiving end of a charge! 🫣😩
Castle gardens was a popular meeting place for punks to hang out.

I got to work with some awesome artists last year on a professional photoshoot. After all the hard work, we piled out into the street to shoot some cool pole moves as one does! 😎📸

One of my earliest portraits and still arguably my all time favourite.

Damon Albarn taking time to talk to fans (myself included of course). I took this only a few hours before he went onstage at Hyde Park London, with Blur, 20th June 2015. What a lovely chap.
