A native of England, he began his career in London, where he won five major photographic awards and holds the coveted titles of Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) and Fellow of the British Institute of Professional Photography (FBIPP) and was also featured in a BBC documentary on Professional Photography.

A commission from the National Gallery of Art to Photograph Turkish art for the exhibition The Age of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent followed by a commission from the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art to photograph strip weaving in Mali and the Ivory Coast launched a second career, which has produced 45 books based on the distinguished collections of the Metropolitan Museum, Winterthur Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, American Folk Art Museum, and the White House among others including many private collections.
