About the Business

In reality, when I left school at sixteen, I really wanted to be an animator or a professional footballer like all my mates but I knew I was naturally artistic more than a gifted footballer. The idea of sketching for Disney all day long, to me, was the best job in the world but just like so many before me, I was put off my dream by a well-intentioned career officer who thought it best I got a real job.

Numerous, let’s say, character-building jobs prevailed before one of my begging letters landed on the doorstep of a commercial photography business who kindly gave me my first opportunity to enter into the creative industry. Although there wasn’t a job for me at that time, my persistence and ability to never let them forget me paid off and I’m glad to say the working relationship I have with that photography company is still going strong some twenty-five years later and I’m proud to call them business partners and even more so – good friends.
