As an Emmy winning photojournalist whose work has also won three Picture of the Year International Awards and a Foreign Press Award, I am as comfortable working in war zones (Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Gaza) and in natural disasters – the Asian tsunami, typhoon Haiyan, the Nepalese earthquake, Mozambique’s floods – as I am shooting features stories on top of a glacier in Greenland or capturing the coast of Cornwall from the air.

For the past decade at CNN I have brought my photographer’s eye to moving images. I pioneered the use of aerial cameras and drones at the network, becoming the first person to film a major news story with a drone in 2013, documenting the aftermath of typhoon Haiyan. I also work with 360 technology to craft immersive imagery, creating content in virtual reality and the metaverse. Most recently I have lead a drive to include first person view (FPV) drone footage in our work. Notably, this technology formed a key part of Anderson Cooper’s New Year’s Eve concert coverage in 2022, where FPV drones were used to create a dynamic experience bringing the viewer into perfomances by artists such as Craig David.

Based in London, I have often been the first choice to handle big domestic stories, from the Queen’s funeral to the Royal Weddings. I was also awarded a Foreign Press Award in 2020 for outstanding journalism covering the Covid pandemic for CNN. Prior to CNN, I have been staff at The Telegraph newspaper and The Press Association.

My work has been exhibited widely, including a solo show of my London riots photography at the Proud gallery and a VR exhibit at London's Imperial War Museum as part of their Refugees Season which received excellent reviews in the press. My photograph of the final flight of Concorde taken in 2003 has gained international acclaim, with CNN hailing it as possibly the greatest aviation photograph of all time.
