Life and work
Meredith grew up in Folkstone, and currently lives in Brighton. He has been photographing since 1996,[3] when he was 16.[4]

His portrait montages appeared in the monthly Brighton Source magazine for four years.[9] He teaches monthly photography courses using the Lomo-LCA,[1][10][11] gives talks at venues internationally and undertakes commercial photography work.[12]
