About editorial stock photos from Japan


Thanks for visiting my website. I am a freelance writer and photographer based in Tokyo.

During my almost 10 years in Japan I have written several hundred features for publications such as National Geographic News, Discover Magazine, Wired Magazine, the Japan Times, the JAL and ANA inflight magazines and the Japanese-language edition of Newsweek.

Before becoming a freelance writer-photographer I worked as an English teacher, proof-reader, researcher for a Japanese newspaper in London, and as a Japanese-English translator. I studied at Cambridge University in my home UK and at Tokyo University. I speak and read Japanese fluently.

Assignments and Sales

I'm available for assignment in Tokyo and throughout Japan. Please sign up to this archive to access my stock images. You can store lightbox selections on this site and keep track of my latest work.

Much of my work is photo-text features, and I am also moving into audio and video. If you think I might be able to work for your publication please contact me below. Maybe I can suggest some story ideas? You will get an experienced reporter, photographer and fixer with fluent Japanese all in one.
