Simon Holliday

Hello. I'm Simon Holliday.

I live in Bristol, UK, where I make photographs, work as a web systems engineer and consultant, and by night, fight crime from my base deep in the city's sewer system.

After studying Philosophy at Bristol University, I worked at Vision Interactive in Bristol, and then spent three years at advertising agency DDB London. I am a founder member of Nameless Media Group, and a partner at Double Shock Recordings. I am currently Head of Development at Coull.

Recently I have photographed feral cats in France and random people in Bristol City Centre, produced some statistical analysis of The Shipping Forecast, and created the open-source FlexiCache plugin for WordPress.

Over the years I have been privileged to produce work for some great individuals and businesses, such as Allied Domecq, BBC, Derren Brown, Future Publishing, The Guardian, Hat Trick Productions, Lloyds TSB, Morgan Stanley, NHS, Objective Productions, Smirnoff, Sony, Tesco and Volkswagen.

According to last.fm, I have recently been listening to Queens Of The Stone Age, Reso, Amon Tobin, Pixies, Beastie Boys, Japandroids and Boards Of Canada.
