I have been passionate about photography for over 45 years. I have a particular interest in people, places and digital art.
My journey started in the 1970's when I used my friends film camera, an Olympus OM10. I was fascinated by the results I achieved on my first trip out and from that moment I was totally hooked. In 1980, I joined H M Forces, the perfect opportunity to use my new found camera skills when traveling across the globe. My memories from this time were amazing and exciting and the camera was always there for me to record those events. When I rejoined civilian life, I needed more from my photography and so I started to look for something that would allow me to use my skills and love of people and places.
My dreams came true in 2000, when I became a professional social photographer, covering over 500 weddings and events in a 20 year career that was one of the most exciting times of my working life. Social photography is a challenging discipline, you only get one chance to get things right. I found the pressure that was presented to me as a wedding photographer, made me more alert to the events happening around me, and consequently gaining the shots that the bride & groom would love.
I have now slowed down and retired from the fast paced social photography scene, I am now capturing images for myself for fun, and to create digital images that I hope my audience will enjoy at their leisure. I still use a traditional film camera alongside the more modern digital cameras and drones. I still believe film has something to offer in this digital world, and rumors have it, film is making a bit of a come back for more specialist applications.
