I
got my first camera, a Brownie 127, when I was 8. From then on my path was
clear.
After art school in the late sixties, I worked as a stills assistant, working mainly in fashion and advertising and then as a photographer specialising in music. One day I was asked if I knew anyone who could film a concert. Of course I did!
I moved into film completely and shot documentaries for TV, 10 years or so of 20/20 for ABC and a lot of music videos.
In 1985 I was shooting a documentary about the making of the Pirelli calender. It was being photographed by Terence Donovan who liked the way I lit and asked if I shot commercials. The rest, as they say, is history.
