About

By day, a mild-mannered multimedia director but by night a super-heroic rock photographer armed with lens, attitude and a vast collection of black tee shirts!

Well, that’s the abbreviated version which pretty much does fit in a teeny-tiny nutshell. Obviously, there’s more though. A whole lot more.

Visceral Industry began life in 2006 in a totally different form than what you see before you now.

Move forward a couple of years and as I had begun concentrating on live music photography, I needed a site to showcase some of my work. The name Visceral Industry had been sitting on a dusty shelf – so it became the moniker for my live music photography.

However, although live music photography is my passion, it is not the only type of photography I concentrate on.

You can view some of my other work over at the Clandestine Manifesto and Flickr.

I am also currently putting together my first photography exhibition and you can view the progress of that at the Three Songs, No Flash website.

I enjoy doing the social media song and dance and you can find me on Twitter and Facebook.

I also do the occasional blog post over at Desktop Magazine’s blog.

That should keep you real busy but if you still want a piece of me, use the Contact page to get in touch!
