In 2008 my first solo portrait exhibition was exhibited in London. The project entitled 'Black Britannia, which took around 6 years to complete, with the help of the Daily Mirror newspaper and my great friend Ros Wynne Jones, was launch at London City Hall, Tower Bridge. I photographed 50 black Britons who had excelled in their chosen profession. From Doctors to teachers, politicians, lawyers, supermodels, journalists to sports stars and musicians. It was my personal reply to the then endless negative press and media stories about the black community. From black on black crime, drugs and knife crime, immigration scare stories to just generally bad press. I'd met and photographed hundred's of decent hard working black britons, some of whom had not received the attention there work really deserved, and others not achieving bigger headlines for the great work that they had produced. I was extremely fortunate that No.10 Downing Street took an interest in my project and asked if the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown could help out by launching my exhibition. The exhibition had an extended run due to the prolonged public interest and when on to exhibit in Manchester, Nottingham and Liverpool.
