In his early thirties (1993), he gave up a job at an estate agent’s to become a freelance photographer. In 1995 he began his first long-term photo essay about his local football club – Brighton and Hove Albion FC – titled More Than Ninety Minutes. It was published in 1997 and exhibited throughout the UK.
