I have been a designer and photographer for more years than I care to remember but this last few years have seen the biggest changes in everyone’s lives. Many have decided that change was required and others with so few options have been forced into a lifestyle not of they’re making to make ends meet. On a personal basis, and like many self employed, it has been a challenge. With over 40 years in the crazy buiness, 27 years running my own business, I have witnessed good years and bad but nothing like the world is going through at present. While it remains an uphill battle I just love what I do too much and the challenges it brings. Yes, I have put in place many changes to my business which will hopefully secure things for the future, but my overall attitude has never changed. Whatever I endeavour to do I will always give it 100% and firmly believe that you are only as good as your last job.

I suppose its at times like this that we all witness the best and the worst in certain people and over past years I have had several big companies that are well financed, and remain busy in these difficult times, approach me wishing to licence many of my images under various dubious agreements for free. I have allowed the use of many of my images for charity use or personal projects but I draw the line at big companies leeching work from small businesses. These are times when everyone should be supporting each other so unfortunately I have decided to no longer undertake any for free work so please avoid disappointment and don’t ask
