He gained the world's first PhD in Display Holography from the Royal College of Art in 1988 and has made holograms of many famous people, including film directors Martin Scorsese and Alan Parker as well as fine artist Sir Peter Blake and writer Will Self. His work with David Bowie for a project using 3D promotional material for the album "hours" is well known, all of which has been documented in his first book "Spacebomb" (2004). In 1999 he was awarded the Millennium Fellowship by the UK Millennium Government Commission for his work with inner city schools, and in 2002 he received the prestigious Shearwater Foundation's Achievements in Holographic Art Award. His imaging work is exhibited around the world and can be seen in two national collections in London and Bradford. He is currently Professor of Modern Holography at De Montfort University, Leicester conducting pioneering research in the field. "South Croxted" is his childhood memoir.
