Hopefully the images here are self-explanatory. The first backdrop I ever painted was for Jon Bon Jovi swiftly followed by Sigue Sigue Sputnik and The Thompson Twins for Photographer Frank Griffin. I was lucky enough to work for Tim Bret-Day with whom we shot David Bowie and Grace Jones and many others. With Dean Chalkley we have shot Paul McCartney and Gaz Coombes, with Nicky Johnston Alan Carr and Joanna Lumley. ITV, Channel 4 and Syco have brought us a lot of entertaining projects. Always impressed by these people rarely a chore, always a pleasure.

Longest in hair and make-up, Mystique. Funniest Lee Mack. Most accommodating Jerry Hall. Most generous, Enya’s manager tipped the whole crew £100 each, not the photographer! Most starstruck when I bumped into Beyonce while shooting Jay Z . Most looking forward to who is next.
