RIP Pete James ...

I am so so unprepared to say 'goodbye' to that wonderful man. Just only spoke to Pete James on Thursday as we planned to meet and discuss me portraying Pete at his home. So very sad to hear the news... Rest in peace you warm and beautiful man.

He was the one who so strongly believed in my photography that he took it to Tate in London at the time we worked on Emma Barton's archival project... and he was the one who once said that Barbara and I as Gibson/Kochanek ware "The photographers that makes the history of this city".
Pete was such a honest supporter...

Last time we met in January, Pete brought Proseco as it was his first visit in our new home in Bearwood... I remember him enjoying Barbara's home made cheese cake saying how proud he was of his kids.. his son leaving home to start new journey and daughters' great achievements at Uni. We knew of his health problems but I remember I could not stop complimenting on how great he looked that day. He really did.

He will be missed terribly. Such a big loss... our deepest condolences to the family.

HIRE ME! It’s 2018, I am 38 already and I want this life to be meaningful… never had a bigger dream than the one to be able to follow my passion and explore my never-ending desire to photograph. I just don’t want to waste any more days thinking about things that seem impossible. I see people passing away and it forces me to reflect.

Determined and fully equipped I work 7 days a week / 24 hours a day. I only sleep when I am forced to do so. I sometime swear but they say it is normal in this industry so I take it as a common thing. I know how to make people laugh; there is always lots of fun when I work with people on set, location or in a studio. I am fortunate to be surrounded by awesome people every day. They remind me how beautiful life can be and how important it is to never give up. Life can be hard sometime but I tend not so see problems. I use my eyes for much more important things.

I am competitive but not in a rude way. I deliver work on time, usually before the deadline. I am looking very forward to the future and opportunities to deliver photography projects of any size and budget! Let me continue living my dream! I am of a value and you can trust me.
