I was born in 1981, in a small town named Chorleywood, just North West of London. My father, an architect from Hungary, and my Mother, a ballet dancer turned dance and movement teacher from England, are both retired. My brother, 7 years my senior, is a writer as well as a support worker.

At the age of 11 I was in a death metal band with my best friends Richard & Robert Phoenix. We named ourselves Discharge (little did we know there was a REAL band named Discharge) and attempted to play early Sepultura songs and possibly a few notes of Napalm Death. Around 13 years of age I rediscovered skateboarding from a brief stint around ’89 – ’90 when my Mum had brought me back a skateboard after working in California. My old Santa Cruz Slick still had some life in it until I updated my equipment to the advanced shapes of ’94. Skateboarding was my life and I proceeded to destroy my body on this wooden toy until the age of 20 when I ended up in hospital with a ruined knee thanks to a winter session at the South Bank 7. During a painful NHS recovery and misdiagnosis of a disintegrated ACL I took the time to focus more on the punk band I was in from ‘00 – ‘04, with whom I was the bassist and toured the UK several times playing every toilet bowl possible. Notably several members ended up creating the band Gallows after my departure.

During this time I also picked up my first camera shortly after my brother bought me Tulsa by Larry Clark for my 18th birthday. While I studied my Art Foundation at Amersham College, I decided to leave graphic design behind and concentrate on taking photographs of what was around me; skateboarders, bands, friends and general youth related activities that one's time is occupied with in the suburbs of London.

After completing the course I went on to study my Degree in Fine Art at London Guildhall University, Whitechapel. I learnt a lot living in the East End, and carried on photographing my friends, perfecting my approach and documenting my culture.

In 2005 I decided to move to New York after being offered a visa opportunity, something I could not turn down after visiting the Big Apple the first time in 2002 and leaving with the words I will live here one day.

By late 2007 I had picked up some editorial assignments, and in early 2008 was named one of PDN’s 30. Over the next few years some other nominations followed including SPD and D&AD awards, some more assignments and several exhibitions in New York, London, Copenhagen and Sardinia. Also at the end of 2008 I had started a partnership with my friend Brian, producing limited edition zines and artist books under the moniker Pau Wau Publications.

I currently live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with my girlfriend Lina. I have a bicycle that I use everyday, a skateboard that occasionally gets dusted off and an acoustic guitar that is strummed periodically. I also have a few cameras that I try and use as often as possible.
