I’ve been a professional photographer for more than a decade and during that time I have taken hundreds of thousands of images, probably even into the millions.
So when I’m asked which is my favourite image from all of the shots I’ve taken it’s very difficult to pick out just one image.
Would it be a shot from the wedding of Strictly Come Dancing winner Karen Hardy on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini? Maybe a black and white image of a newborn baby or pregnant mother?
Some of the aerial photography that I’ve done of places like Corfe Castle? Or fashion shoots with top London models?
Perhaps it was Wimborne Town lifting the Wessex League Cup with my logo emblazoned across the front of their shirts?
No, after much deliberation I had to go for a shot I took at rehearsals for a Teenage Cancer Trust gig with Peter Doherty and Roger Daltrey.
I’ve been a Who fan since I was 12 and a school friend introduced me to Quadrophenia, that was the day I became a Mod and it hasn’t gone away since.
My business is named after a song by The Who – The Seeker, and I’ve worked closely with Peter and Babyshambles on a number of occasions.
So to be stood on stage with Roger Daltrey, during soundcheck whilst he and Babyshambles ran through the ten Who songs they would play together was a great experience.
Should I quit there and then? Would anything ever top being in that situation? Who knows.
I just know that this is the photo that’s closest to my desk, alongside a framed Wimborne Town shirt, complete with the Seeker Photography logo and the signatures of Roger, Peter and the rest of the band – sometimes I think I’ve got the best job in the world!
