By its very definition, news can be both unpredictable and evolving. As a registered UK Press Pass holder I can get right to the heart of a story and capture the defining images to illustrate a story, delivering pictures to the tightest deadline for immediate publication.
I am regularly commissioned for news coverage by the leading national newspapers; they appreciate that my central, regional location enables me to cover a very wide area, and that my local knowledge enables me to get close to a story often more quickly than any agency can assign a photographer.
My professional and creative abilities, together with the fact that I instinctively work empathetically with the subjects of a shoot, often results in my being commissioned for portrait led news features as well.
