Curriculum Vitae

I was a photographic specialist at Christie's the international fine art auction house based in South Kensington, London from 1986-2007. Following a strategic review the company decided to close its collectors' departments and, along with a number of other colleagues, I was made redundant in August 2007.

During my career at Christie's I grew the department from a turnover of £200,000 to £2 million at its peak and held the world auction record for a camera and numerous other auction records during this time. Alongside my specialist role I was also Head of Collectors, a Director and auctioneer.

I am currently undertaking some limited consultancy on two one-off projects through to early 2008 and am undertaking a full-time PhD looking at aspects of British photographic history.
