I am a press photographer working in London, I am more used to telling a story with one picture than with many. The
photo essay is beautiful thing that I rarely get to do since I left local papers and I am honoured to be able to show
you this one.
In 2010 I was commissioned by OneRedEye Visual Communications for SABMiller plc to bring my own view point to
their larger on-going project called World of Beer; photographing beer culture around the world. The whole project
led by Ed Robinson was an interesting one to me as beer culture is such a universal theme around the world, that it
can be a yard stick. What do people from different cultures and traditions share when it comes to beer and what
changes. I will let the pictures tell that story.
