I am a highly creative individual who is passionate about my photography. As is the case with many notable creatives I have been diagnosed as suffering from bipolar, a mental health condition which means my life has been something of a roller coaster ride of highs and lows. It has been during the most manic phases of my illness that I have been at my most creative.

For many years I managed to fly under the radar and only my family and closest friends had any inkling of my illness but as is often the case eventually as a consequence of my actions my antics eventually caught up with me. Full of grandiose ideas and thoughts of being the next greatest photographer since David Bailey in the past my condition has seen me go on reckless spending sprees and hopping on planes to exotic destinations all over the world in pursuit of my dream. Who knows I might still achieve it yet !

Don't let my condition put you off of working with me, I am far from being totally insane !  My illness is kept in check with medication and as a result I am now a much more stable person with better control over my thoughts. Despite my illness I remain a down to earth, warm hearted, sensitive, sincere and friendly individual with an appreciation for all things beautiful and a genuine enthusiasm for capturing it with the camera. I am also great fun to work with.

Some uneducated people attach a stigma towards those suffering from any condition that affects the mind and though not curable many mental health problems are treatable by way of medications and therapy. In my own circumstances I am prescribed mood stabilizers and anti depressives to help me stay balanced. Sadly there have been episodes when due to my illness I have found myself being taking advantage of by others. Thankfully I now have a supportive network in place who help me to stay on an even keel and to point out to me those toxic types of people we encounter during our lives.

Previously my illness has manifested itself as a pendulum of extreme mood swings varying from full blown mania when I have felt omnipotent to the polar opposite of sinking in to the darkest depths of despair and considering ending my life on account of the misery my illness has bought to me and those around me. I would love to be in the position of being able to better educate people in respect of mental illnesses and I am very grateful for the support and assistance shown towards me by family members, those people who understand my illness and those people who have remained good friends and stuck by me through turbulent times and have accepted me for who I am. You all know who you are and if it were not for you I might not be here today :)
