Hello I'm a London based advertising photographer specialising in people & lifestyle on location. I also shoot interperative underwater images in black and white - see Ocean Images link.
My 'Queen The Unseen Archive' exhibition opened to the public at the Art Gallery Of Ballarat in Australia on February 20th to fantastic response, and ran until April 11th.
The photographic exhibition was supplemented by rare Queen memorabilia.
Some photos from the show:
NB: To all visitors who attended the show in Ballarat - all of the signed limited edition prints are available to purchase exclusively via Proud Gallery London.
There is an exhibition catalogue, postcards and posters, which are available from The Art Gallery Of Ballarat.

I would like to thank the following Queen fans and my friends and associates for all their help and enthusiasm with this project:
Julianna Mitchell : Vernon Reeves : Stefano Pesenti : Martin Skala : Gary Taylor : Rheinhold Mack
Jessica Keatings : Jeanne Nordstrom : Sheila Hince : Louisa Somerville
Chris Wright and Ian Haynes of Rock - It Cargo : Robert Usher at Showfreight
There are discussions in place to take the show to other cities around the world - watch this space !
'Queen the unseen archive' exhibition was originally shown at The Proud Gallery in London during summer 2009.
Many thanks to everybody who made the effort to see the show and to all of you of you who purchased prints, posters or postcards.
I hope those of you who saw the show, enjoyed the images which capture the band in a different style and evoke many great memories for me of those fantastic times we spent around the world.
NB: The limited edition prints, posters and postcards are still available from the Proud Gallery. Please contact them www.proud.co.uk
The show was a tremendous success and in terms of attendance, web site hits and general enquiries, it is Proud Gallery's best ever.
So thanks again to everybody who contributed.

On November 28th I was invited by the the tribute band Everqueen who I met at Queen Day in Castelnuovo Rangone this August to do a similar digital presentation of my photographic show at their concert in Rome.

I had not seen a Queen tribute band live and I hear mixed reports about them, but I have to say that these guys really impressed me.
They don't dress up like the original band or put on a simulated show in the Queen style - they simply play very well. The singer is remarkably like a young Freddie - with a tremendous voice.
The energy and technique in the way they play Queen songs is fantastic. They are very good musicians who clearly enjoy playing live.
They are also really nice people who were very kind and generous to me.
I thank them and Gabrielle of Stazione Birra for the fantastic hospitality and generosity they gave to me and my girlfriend.
If you have a chance to see them - go ! They are special.

In August 2009 I participated in Queen Day in Castenuovo Rangone, near Modena in northern Italy. I was kindly invited by Luca of Queenitalia.it and after meeting him when I was in Bologna earlier this year agreed to contribute to what was a great day. I go to Italy regularly as I have family there and many friends, some who I have met via my connection with Queen.

EXCELLENT NEW QUEEN BOOK
Voyageur Press from the U.S.A have just released The illustrated History of Queen. It's a great book and finally what Queen and their fans deserve. I contributed to the project and only did so because I believed in what they were doing. I was not disappointed.
