I was working at Aston University in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago and saw they had used one of my pictures on the side of the library. As most of my images are used on websites, nice to see one I shot for central marketing for the University, used this size.

It’s all Black Sabbath here in Birmingham at the moment with the announcement of their last ever concert in July. I first photographed Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath in concert back in 1999 at the NEC when I worked for the Birmingham Post, pictures are still used extensively today. In 2007 I was commissioned to photography Ozzy Osbourne receiving the first Birmingham Walk of stars award.
25 years ago, this month I was photographing Monica Lewinsky at Merry Hill in Dudley during her UK book signing tour. She was at the time quite famous for working at the White House with US President Bill Clinton and the political scandal that followed.
Another picture from the session was part of my winning portfolio for Midlands press photographer of the year award.

Great weather this week for the Optometry students who were graduating in London. All the roads around Westminster were closed due to the state opening of Parliament so had lots of opportunity to shoot in different areas.

BBC Doctors-Christopher Timothy pictured with Diane Keen
I photographed the set in Selly Oak, Birmingham a couple of times, firstly in 2004 and then in 2014. It was great to have photographed the original James Herriot, Christopher Timothy, an actor I spent many hours watching in All creatures great and small on the BBC in the 1970’s.
