Away from photography Simon is a lover of the outdoors and can often be found spending time with his family usually at the beach with the dog in tow. He's also a keen surfer, skier and biker and loves making a racket on the drums.
Mentoring:
Having benefitted from mentoring in his early days in business and being married to a marketing coach Simon knows the value of experienced guidance in a perpetually evolving and competitive industry.
In recent years he has informally mentored new and established photographers who are either starting out in the industry or find themselves at a crossroads in their career.
For 2023 Simon is formalising this service, making himself available to a limited number of mentorees. If you have any questions or would like to know more about this, please get in touch.
