About

You need to write an about me for the website without it sounding wanky! Turns out it’s not that easy. So what do you want to know?

I’ve been a photographer for over 10 years now and before that, I was lucky enough to work in the film industry with some talented people. Before that, I traveled and saw parts of the world that still inspire me.

Love people! Have always been fascinated by the little details, the quirks and how everything comes together in a moment.

Recently I got diagnosed with ADHD, which has helped me understand how others see the world around them. ADHD doesn’t define me.

Early mornings are my favourite time of day, it’s the calm and possibility that I love.

I’ve got a daughter. Her name is Mango, it’s not really Mango it’s Margot but we like Mango, it kinda feels like a happy fruit.

The studio is based in Halifax (said without the H) in an old Textile Mill. It’s filled with Natural light, plants and music, well our little bit is.

The studio is myself and my wife Jo where we work on the other side of the business which is The Melias Co where we work with brands to create short films and images.
