I graduated in Photography, Film & Television from the London College of Printing and hold an MA in History of Design. I have led media schools at the London College of Communication (LCC), Falmouth University and the University of South Wales. I was previously London Correspondent for PDN Magazine (New York) and a columnist and critic for The British Journal of Photography. In 2004, I co-founded the University of the Arts London's first-ever research centre Photography and the Archive (PARC). In 2007 I was instrumental in creating The Stanley Kubrick Archive at LCC - 1000 boxes of film production materials and Kubrick's personal library - in partnership with Warner Brothers (LA) and the Kubrick family. I am currently a Company Director at Impressions Gallery (Bradford), a writer for Taschen (New York) and, nominate for Prix Pictet's Global Sustainability Prize. I serve on the Advisory Board of The Rory Peck Trust – the only organisation dedicated to the support, welfare and safety of freelance newsgatherers around the world.
Most recently, in 2019 I co-curated SHOT IN SOHO at The Photographers' Gallery (London), edited the book SHOT IN SOHO (published by Prestel/Random House) and, gave a paper at the Stanley Kubrick symposium at the Design Museum (London), entitled Designing and Imagining the Future.
