Work history
PhotographerDepartment for Education
- United KingdomFreelance
I provide distinct high quality photographs at an affordable price. Covering photography for corporate events and PR, weddings and parties, portraits, social and documentary work including international charities. I have recently returned from The West Bank to continue a book about Palestine I am working on.
I've been working as a professional photographer for just over 15 years. Now based in London but working worldwide. I'm motivated by a passion for capturing memorable images of the people and places that interest and inspire me from London's East End to the Middle East and Africa. My photographs have been published internationally, including the Independent, Guardian and Telegraph. My work has featured in the British Journal of Photography and the National Union of Journalists' Excellence in Photography exhibitions. I recently won the contract for the Department for Education's apprenticeship scheme.

"Ron photographed my teams at Notting Hill Police Station including a high profile policing
operation to combat Anti Social behaviour and gang violence. Ron built up great rapport
and put both police staff and the public at ease. It is to his credit that he was accepted by
all and went about his work with great professionalism, no fuss or interference. I have no
hesitation in recommending Ron for future work."
