Brief Summary
My photography has appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone, in countless album and DVD packages, in publications worldwide as well as in the personal collections of many of the musicians I've photographed.

Paul McCartney handpicked me in 2011 to shoot several dates of his North American tour, and I had the honour of being the only photographer invited into the studio with Nirvana as they rehearsed for their performance celebrating their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

Since 1995 I have worked regularly with Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters, with more than 40 of my photos appearing in the Grammy Award-winning feature film “Foo Fighters: Back and Forth”.

Queens Of The Stone Age, Faith No More, Refused, Billy Talent and many more of my favourite artists trust me to capture their process both onstage and behind the scenes.

I have also worked as the Stills Photographer on several feature films and web series, and am an accomplished filmmaker having shot, directed and edited several music videos / tour documentaries.

I am represented by Morrison Hotel Gallery in the US.
