"I think it all began when my Dad bought me a copy of Transworld Photo Issue in 2001. I had no knowledge of photography at that point but as an impressionable 15 year old sat reading assiduously through the magazine I often wondered how on earth they got photos like that.
It continued to puzzle me until 2 years later I saw Leo out in Manchester shooting a photo. As soon as he peeled back the Polaroid test I knew straight away that's exactly what I wanted to do.
After dropping out of studying Law, Psychology and English at college the only direction I cared about was being able to shoot photos like the ones I saw in the countless magazines I picked up each month. I brushed off the idea of formal training for the old fashioned method of burning through film and learning from my mistakes with a little help from my elders.
4 years down the line since my first real camera, I work a full time job purely so that I can keep on shooting skateboarding. Keep putting film in my camera and petrol in the tank to clock up miles nationwide."
