Born in Singapore, living in London. Simon Wheatley began to take photography seriously while living in Budapest in the mid-1990s. In recent years he has focussed on marginalized urban areas, with a particular interest in the issues around regeneration and youth.He has also spent considerable time in Amsterdam where he has photographed the 'liberal' era drawing to an end.
In 2005 he became a nominee member of the renown photo agency Magnum Photos.

"Maybe the most important thing I ever did was get away from England and that idea of having a career as a photojournalist. It's very competitive of course and I don't think that's a healthy environment in which to learn." - Simon Wheatley
