Piers began photographing skateboarders for fun, when he was just 13 years old. He carried on skateboarding, but more importantly taking pictures at every opportunity.

He has shot editorially as a contributor for Sunday Times Travel Magazine for over 10 years, and counts Sainsbury's Magazine, CNN Traveller, and Telegraph Ultratravel amongst his clients.

Piers works directly with tourist boards and hotel groups, shooting advertising, reportage and environmental portraiture, and has undertaken travel assignments in over 65 countries.

December finished on a high note for Piers as a runner-up in 'Travel Photographer of the Year 2015'.
