I’ve produced my first exhibition which raised tens of thousands of pounds for our charities, I’ve had my first book published and this is now selling worldwide.
All of these things would not have been possible if it were not for the support and effort of everyone at Manchester City FC.
I thought winning the FA Cup was a highlight in my career but winning the Premier League and being able to document the year so closely with the players has most definitely been my career highlight.
I try at all times to think what the fans would like to see when taking my pictures and hopefully this has been the case in 2012 and something you will see for yourself when viewing this gallery.
Image Gallery: Best of 2012: City in pictures
When asked to produce my favourite pictures of 2012 I knew it would be a formidable task.
I’ve taken more than 30,000 photographs at various games, events and training sessions during 2012 and I have traveled across the world, covering everything from football to fashion and so much more for the club.
I couldn’t begin to choose a favourite from so many memories but I’ve put together this small selection.
Taking photographs allows you to capture a moment in time some of the moments I’ve captured in 2012 are moments that hundreds of thousands of fans across the world have taken pleasure in sharing and this is a wonderful and special thing, and a great honour to be part of.
Working so closely with the first team allows the players to feel comfortable with me around them 24/7, so some of the shots I obtain are totally natural and show the players for who they are rather than posed and staged giving the City fans an insight they wouldn’t normally be able to gain.
I do hope you like the images I’ve chosen and I look forward to sharing more pictures with you in 2013.
