Born in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, in 1957.
My first photographic experience was of a childhood spent using a box brownie made by my mother who worked for Kodak overseas at that time. I first took photography seriously in the 1980s, being self-taught through the influence of late 20th century photography and literature, influences which I continue to link through my practice to date.
Educated in a variety of schools through emigration to Australia in the 1960s, finishing with an engineering apprenticeship in the 1970s. More recently I have completed an MA and am at present working on a PhD at the University of Ulster.
