Q: Can I be your photo assistant ?

Q: What's your favourite country ?
A: I often get asked this question, way before this website went live, so it's appropriate it's found a home on this FAQ page. The more complicated answer is I always seem to find something to like in all the places I've been to. Although it's hard to be positive about my time in El Salvador, when we weren't allowed to venture outside of San Salvador's main bus station.But that's another story.But the simple answer to this question is India. The people, colours and culture make it a photographers' dream, plus I met my wife there. I'd love to go back soon. The last time I was there, I was doing a feature on 24hours in the life of Victoria Terminus (VT) in Bombay. Both the train station and city have now changed names. I was awake for almost, (I managed to get a just a few hours sleep in the small hours),the entire 24hours stretch and was exhausted which led to me getting sick. I flew out to Bangkok where I was hospitalized for ten days with pneumonia. However, while on the way by taxi to Bombay Airport, I was sat exhausted and alone on the back seat and while we stopped at red lights, a child begging tapped on the window. We quickly sped off but despite being sick I managed to grab a photograph.This was the last photograph I took in India and it was used as a full front cover spread in the Escape magazine, the travel section of the Observer newspaper. Ironically after ten visits to India my last photo in the country was regarded as the best I took. Well you're only as good as your last, but working photographers know the best picture they take will be tomorrow.
