I have loved taking photographs since I was young, always wanting to be the one with the camera at family occasions such as Christmas. 

​

I was born in 1970, growing up in Old Swan, Liverpool, with my parents, two brothers and two sisters. Living in a terraced house and finishing school at 16 with no qualifications. 

​

It wasn't until 2016 when I moved back to Crawley in West Sussex for the second time, that I became friends with a former wedding photographer who I lived in a house share with. I used his camera and from his encouragement decided on buying my first Nikon DSLR. 

​

After moving back to the north west I offered shoots to members at my local gym, instantly falling in love with photography and making it a real hobby. 

​

In October 2018, I did my first shoot with a model who I met in a Facebook group. I became hooked and arranged a few more shoots all under a trade basis, and providing the models with the images I edited.

​

From my great work ethics, growing portfolio and amazing references, I found myself shooting with many models on a trade basis, who wanted my style of photography in their own portfolios.

 

I have over 120 magazine publications, including 10 front covers and 4 back covers. What started as a hobby has become so much more, and in February 2022, I rebranded from Fit 4 U Photography, to Lens Folio.

 

My aim for 2023 was to become affiliated with a clothing brand, and in July, I was asked to become the official photographer to a new gym wear clothing brand, Fiit Squad.  

​

One of my goals now is to become an established model portfolio photographer, with another aim to open my own photography studio in 2024!
