I travel extensively throughout Asia conducting research for articles and taking photographs for local and international newspapers and magazines.

the ‘Enchanting Asia’ series on Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar,Thailand, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket & Southern Thailand. Each book includes 190 images accompanied by an introductory text with an overview of the history, geography, culture, festivals, and food.The second section is of images with extended captions. I also wrote and photographed "Presenting Cambodia". I am also the author of ‘The Traditional Ceramics of South East Asia’, published by the University of Hawaii Press and A&C Black. Considered an authority on the subject, this beautifully illustrated book includes over 200 photographs and comprehensively documents the life and work of craftsmen in Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. As an important record of traditional craftsmanship and a fast-disappearing way of life, the book is essential reading for anyone interested in the anthropology and sociology of South East Asia. The book can be purchased through www.amazon.com

My work has also appeared in numerous in-flight magazines, the Bangkok Post, and the Australian Sunday Telegraph. Corporate clients include Leo Burnett, Thai Airways, Tourist Authority of Thailand, Northstar Travel Media, Accor, and Starwood Hotels & Resorts. I have also interviewed and photographed the musicians Jimmy Cliff, Kenny Garrett, Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Billy Cobham, and many more.
