Europe <

My mother was born in Cairo in Egypt, the daughter of a French mother and a Greek father. She moved at a very early age with her mother, from Egypt to Baghdad, Iraq and after a few years there, she moved on to the to the UK when she was about five or six years old, knowing only how to speak French.

I was born in the UK, first generation here and apart from a few years in Portugal, have lived my entire life here, but consider myself firmly ‘European’ and identify probably more with Mediterranean culture and lifestyle than anything else. Leaving the European Union, the culmination of an ill-conceived, misguided and disastrous Brexit crusade, felt to me like some sort of amputation.

I have travelled and seen a great deal of Europe over the decades. My first major taste of the continent, other than short family holidays in my early teens to Greece and my Grandparent’s place in the south of France, was in my very early twenties and I drove to Sicily in an old VW bay window camper.

I have been lucky to have worked all over Europe on commercial, film and photography projects.
