Phil's interest in photography started in the late Seventies where he worked in a store selling camera and lighting equipment.
He started taking photos using an old Russian Zenith E camera with a Pentax 50mm lens. At the age of 25 Phil turned professional and worked at BJP studios in London as a PR photographer, shooting people and still life.

Wanting to spend more time exploring various styles of photography, Phil decided to acquire his own studio. On a shoe string budget he moved into a large attic warehouse in Camden Town, where he lived and worked whilst building up his fashion and beauty portfolio. From 1985 to 1989 Phil worked for ' Visual Impact Productions, producing photography for catalogues and brochures in the fashion industry.

In 1993 he held his first exhibition ' It's Not What You Think ' it was at this time he met Mike McKay, who modelled for his classic picture ' Hotel Party '. Mike and his brother Andy went on to create Manumission, the Worlds largest weekly party, held on the Island of Ibiza. Mike asked Phil to take the photographs for Manumissions first advertising campaign and one of the longest photographer & client relationships was born. For over a decade Phil has been commissioned to take the pictures used for over a hundred posters and countless flyers. Some of which are shown on this site. Mike and his partner Claire still work closely together with Phil, producing work in both photography and film.

Phil pays great attention to detail with his lighting. He works with tungsten, flash and daylight, sometimes mixing them up, adding movement to his pictures. Studio work is undertaken at Film Plus Studios in North West London, one the best equipped studios in the uk. He has worked in a variety of locations and specialises shooting on the Spanish Island of Ibiza. Phil's in-depth knowledge of the Island, it's natural light and diverse locations make it one of his favourite places to take photographs.
