Head publisher and photo editor at Demotix news photo agency. I verify content, working with UGC, select images for syndication to a wide range of publications, sub-edit, talk to 4000 photojournalists around the world to help gather quality news reports, run a team of international remote publishers and focus on the importance of safety in the field.

Manchester born, I have worked as a pit boy at Russian punk concerts to draw on people, volunteered ironing clothes in a Morecambe charity shop, hitch-hiked to Western Saharan refugee camps with film cameras, and documented the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in the seas of Northern England.
