Description
I live in Smethwick and have been photographing Jazz Musicians for more than ten years. I began by photographing David Murray when he appeared at the Bear in Smethwick playing with local musician, Andy Hamilton. Inspired by the images I produced that night I went on to photograph Andy Hamilton and his guests on a regular basis. After a while I also began photographing artists who appeared at The Drum in Birmingham.
Since 1997 I have been regularly photographing musicians at gigs promoted by Birmingham Jazz. In October 2002, with support from Birmingham Jazz, I held an exhibition at The Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham.
Over the last few years I have had work published in The Wire and Jazzwise magazines as well as in a number of local publications. My photos have appeared on two CD covers by Birmingham based musicians and my work appears on a number of websites.
