Brown Monkey - Biography

Welcome to my new and improved Brown-Monkey.com. A great deal has changed since original site started and now starts a new chapter. In a year since the last official update a great deal has changed in my life and exploits.

I completed my MA in Photography Last year and was accepted into the Royal Photographic society as and Associate. I also embarked on a series of travels in 2005 across the Asian continent, some planned and some through my work but documenting the people, places and experiences as I have gone along.

The focus of my most recent work has been these travels. Some of the work has been on exhibition and some has yet to be seen.

I have since these travels relocated to New York , USA from Bournemouth , UK my home and base for the last 5 years. While I work on putting together portfolios endeavoring to find shows in New York , I have also started to turn my Camera on this intense city.

This site thanks to the great work of good friend and long time collaborator Paul Cripps, I will be able to keep a more update site for your viewing pleasure, so keep tuning in!
