I am a British photographer who lived in California for 27 years before returning back to the UK, I will need to escape again as quickly as possible. I now live on a boat in Malta.

I started taking photographs when I was 10 years old and I've never stopped. Fortunately I've been able to make quite a reasonable living out of it. I used to work for The Evening Standard shooting hundreds of features pictures. When I was in Los Angeles, I directed music videos and concerts.

I'm not quite sure how I ended up living on the boat in Malta, but I'm very glad I do. It's incredibly relaxing and there's only a few things that need fixing.
