Tsia describes himself as a lifestyle portrait photographer capturing modern gay life. His work is often described as sexually provocative/charged without being explicit.

Tsia trained as a hairdresser after leaving school at 15, he worked in salons during his apprenticeship and subsequently became a Style Director with Toni & Guy.
After graduating Tsia decided to retrain and began a two year National Diploma in Fashion and Textiles at Basingstoke College of Technology.

He completed the course with a string of merits and distinctions, an award for best collection, and a place on the highly acclaimed BA Hons Fashion degree at Middlesex University.

Tsia spent several years working in various creative roles, which included make-up artist with MAC cosmetics and once again Style Director with Toni & Guy.

He retrained as a graphic designer, and graduated with an award for most promising student, and a job offer as Lecturer of Art & Design - specialising in Graphics, Fashion, and Typography.

Tsia always took photographs throughout his whole career, and dreamt of seeing his work in print. He relocated back to London and sought work as an Editorial photographer.
He cut his teeth with a Lesbian magazine called DIVA, where Editor in Chief Jane Czyzselska described him as a raw talent.

He shot for DIVA on a regular basis and even got to shoot his first cover.
His work has since been published in Gay Times Magazine, several on line blogs, and he has been flattered to have been published in four coffee table books and a cover by German publishing house - Bruno Gmeunder.

His work is due to be seen in an upcoming calendar for 2013. He continues to take commissions for work, and hopes to continue publishing work for his growing fan base.
