ABOUT ME...

Hi, I’m Dammo, and I work with people who refuse to blend in.

People who want to stand out instead of playing it safe.

People who want something different, not another grey background and a forced smile.

I grew up around the Mod scene from a young age, and just four miles from a drag racing track. Hot rods, beach buggies, speed, style, attitude — it was exciting, loud, and completely different. From early on, I knew I didn’t want ordinary.

The Mod scene showed me that image matters. The cut of a jacket, the shine on a shoe, the look in someone’s eye — all of it tells a story before a word is spoken.

Add in the world of Hot Rods and drag racing, and my obsession with imagery was set. That instinct for style, authenticity and individuality is ingrained in everything I do and everything I shoot.

For the last 15 years, I’ve documented the New Untouchables Brighton Mod Weekender — photographing bands who mean what they say, dancers who live every beat, and classic scooters in every colour imaginable.

That work became my book, Through My Eyes, and led to four exhibitions in the UK and Spain. It still shapes the way I see the world through a lens.

More recently, I was commissioned to photograph Tom Arena for Detail magazine during Paul Weller’s guest edit. I’ve now been featured in the magazine four times. That’s the level I’m building at, and the direction I’m heading in.

So the question is: why would you want to look ordinary?

If that sounds like your kind of photography, let’s make something strong together.
