Jack, 25, has snapped some of the biggest stars of the moment, many of them as they’ve called in at the London studios of Capital FM.
His images have graced magazine covers and been shared on the social media accounts of A-List celebrities.

“I did most of my growing up in the Isle of Man.
“But my dad still lives on the Fylde coast, he’s in Poulton these days and it’s great to come up and see him.
“I was up just a couple of weeks ago, it’s very different from the big city, it’s nice to get a break.”
