I am a Scientist, Photographer, and a father, and not particularly in that order! I have a PhD in Biochemistry, but have always loved art.

The combination of my inner geek and artist meant that I was naturally drawn to photography (which is composed of both factors in my opinion). Starting in 2009 with my first DSLR, I was living in Paris and took the streets, quickly developing a passion for street and candid photography. Loving travelling, and doing so as often as i could, meant I also developed into travel photography too.
However, my photography did not really come to fruition until September 2012, when I moved to Bangalore, India with my wife Jenifer. This opportunity allowed me to broaden my skills, particularly in wildlife and street photographer. It may sound like a strange mix, but in fact, they are extremely similar! Both require the conjunction of life in it's environment. Both require understanding your subject, and understanding what are the norms and what are exceptional events.

Some people say it is due to me being dropped on my head as a child…. but i think every photographer is different, the number of times i have 10 people in the same place taking a picture of the same subject with different results.
