Journalism

Front cover photo of the Black Bhairab in Durbar Square, Kathmandu, Nepal I have written hundreds of feature articles and many more smaller pieces on a frankly ridiculous variety of topics from Artificial Intelligence and AIDS awareness week to ZZ Top and Zamalek (an Egyptian football team). These have been for an equally wide variety of newspapers, magazines and other publications. Since moving to Manchester, long term relationships were forged with the following titles:

  • TNT Magazine – Weekly comedy columnist for four years, previewing and reviewing acts.
  • PC Ace – Over 70 in-depth explanatory guides to computers and associated technology as varied as biometrics, Bluetooth and black boxes (flight recorders).
  • Men’s Health – A three year association with the magazine, producing a large range of comic sport and lifestyle features.
  • Trailfinders, National Student and SX Magazine – Travel writing features accompanied by photographs.

I have also written a number of top ten travel columns, light-hearted lifestyle pieces and housing and holiday advice columns which have been syndicated in national and regional newspapers and magazines.

So, if you’re after a quirky leisure piece, a sports or travel guide or a photo feature on, for example, Luxor’s ancient temples, Easter Island, Japan or Australia’s unheralded Sunshine Coast, please contact me at: Journalism

Ullswater, the Lake District I’ve been a keen photographer for over 15 years and have a library in excess of 2,000 high quality transparencies, mainly travel and ancient civilizations images. These have been published in a range of magazines and books including Trailfinders, Adventure Traveller, The Usborne Atlas of World History and The Kingfisher Encyclopedia of Geography.

Tropical ferns on Fraser Island, Queensland.I now have Digital SLR cameras capable of producing exceptional quality in excess of resolutions required for print publication. I licence images individually but, if working on a book or feature, can sometimes produce a batch of images for publication at below 50% of market rates. I also have training and experience of picture research so can supply all the text and photographs required for some individual projects.
