Military
During the course of my photographic life I spent a lot of time with the army including a whole year with the London Regiment, a territorial regiment made up of volunteers, who were wonderful people. I then spent a year with the King’s Troop Royal Artillery for a book. Again these are great people and it was good to be with horses. I also spent year with the Household Cavalry, from the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton to the Diamond Jubilee, for another book. In addition to these special projects, I have continued to photograph individual officers, troopers and guardsmen.
