Where Imagination Meets Vision, Words & Sound

Who I Am

Throughout my eclectic career, I’ve worn many hats—Imagineer, financier, photographer, and property developer, to name a few. I’ve always embraced an unorthodox approach, steering clear of the beaten path to create new ones. Whether advising businesses or capturing life through a lens, my work is defined by bold ideas and daring strategies.

What I Do

My journey has taken me through diverse industries—pawnbroking, finance, charities, retail, real estate, and photography. Each step has been an opportunity to innovate, disrupt, and challenge the status quo. Today, I channel my creative energy and expertise into mentoring street photographers, crafting impactful writing, developing dynamic business strategies, designing compelling websites, and providing connection through Home Companions™.

My Mission

For me, it’s not just about adapting to change—it’s about driving it. I believe in transforming obstacles into opportunities and helping others see the world from a fresh perspective. My mission is simple: to unlock potential in business, creativity, personal growth, and connection.

How I’m Wired

With a mind wired for creativity and boundless energy, I thrive on balancing multiple passions. Whether I’m capturing a fleeting moment on the street, strategising for a business, or connecting with people on a personal level, I bring the same vision and passion to everything I do. ADHD and neurodiversity have gifted me the ability to think outside the box and juggle many projects at once—it’s not a limitation, it’s my superpower.

Mastering the Art of Street Photography: Your Journey with Expert Mentoring

Street photography is where I capture the raw, unfiltered moments of everyday life—full of energy and spontaneity. In contrast, portraiture offers a more deliberate, refined approach, where careful composition and creative vision bring out the essence of the subject. With over 60 years of experience, I’ve honed the craft of storytelling through both the dynamic chaos of the streets and the thoughtful elegance of portraiture, bridging these two genres with precision and passion.

If you're looking to elevate your photography, I offer personalised mentoring services tailored to your unique journey. Whether you're just starting out or seeking to sharpen your skills, I’m here to guide you through the techniques and insights that have shaped my career.
