A feature on his portfolio was published in the March 1995 issue of Q magazine and in August that year, he was recognised by the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame And Museum with his Rod Stewart "pyjama portrait" ("Images Of Rock And Roll", Rolling Stone Press). An Eric Clapton and a Muddy Waters were added in February 2000 and in October 2000 a book of his punk photographs (entitled >"Flash Bang Wallop!") was published by Abstract.
