Born in Liverpool, England Carl moved moved to Kent at the age of seven where as an only child he spent hours in his room drawing and creating worlds from his imagination having been inspired by artists such as Salvador Dali, Patrick Woodroofe and record sleeve artists such as Roger Dean and the work of Hipgnosis.
Although a very keen landscape photographer Carl initially established himself as a successful still life photographer, and then began to branch out into other areas of photography in the advertising world, shooting people and landscapes for a wide variety of products and brands.
In January of 2008 this work was featured in the Sunday Times, after which the flood gates opened to a host of media attention from magazines and newspapers all over the world to television reports, documentaries and interviews including an appearance on the Richard and Judy Show.
Carl’s first photography book for the adult market FOOD LANDSCAPES was released to critical acclaim in October 2010. A WORLD OF FOOD, publishing MAY 2012, is his second book but this time is for children and adults alike.
Carl is currently working on plans for an animated children’s television series which will promote healthy eating and tackle some of the issues of diet and nutrition.
