Originally London based, shooting advertising, cosmetics and beauty in studio and on location, my underwater photography developed into something wonderful by 97, and by 2004 I had returned to the islands to escape the big bad city. Assisting many of the best big shooters in London for 6 years, I started my own studio at 27, shooting for Vanity Fair to Cosmo; it's a far cry from my life now. Sharks and things with gills are more common these days. Having not picked up my Mamiya for many a month, I'm not able to power up some large lighting in-studio and restricted by tiny slr's and fixed lighting rigs. Still, I am able to get what I want underwater - respect for the visionary... whatever your camera.
I currently manage the photography and creative affairs of UNEXSO in the Bahamas, my graphic design and photography at work in lots of dive mags and all of our advertising. A good life
in the islands.

Digital Nikonos Industry Design Challenge

There is a Nikonos V out there which has been modified for Jeremiah Sullivan in CA, the maker of Neptunic Shark Suits, and from my understanding it is fully digitized and does not vary in appearance from the original. He spent a bit of cash getting it done by a company there, and takes it around with him everywhere.. very cool- will see if I can get any shots of it.
