I have been taking photographs of gardens professionally since 1999. I am a member of the Garden Media Guild. My work is feature-led; I photograph gardens and nurseries for articles in magazines and newspapers. I am regularly published by The English Garden magazine, Country Life and Beautiful Britain magazines, and have contributed occasionally to most gardening magazines in the UK. I am also a regular contributor to EDEN magazine in Germany.

Increasingly my work is appearing in books about plants and gardens. I contributed Special Garden Photography to “Portmeirion” published by the Antique Collectors Club and a chapter from Caerhays garden in Cornwall in “Magnolien”, by Oliver Kipp, published by Callway in Germany. For the last two years I have been working on the first book to be published on Welsh Gardens. "Gardens in Wales", written by Stephen Anderton, will be published in May 2009 by Graffeg.

CHAUMONT:

I have been photographing the International Gardens Festival at Chaumont-sur-Loire every year since 1999 and have over 2000 images of Chaumont alone. Garden World Images represents my stock pictures of plants, flowers and garden features. I also supply features to the Franca Speranza agency in Milan. I am an accredited photographer for the National Trust and for The National Gardens Scheme. (continues below)
