About Me

I believe that it can be helpful if you are considering hiring a photographer to know a little about how they think and what inspires them so .......

I get inspired and excited by good light and unusual challenges and will very often be up in the small hours editing my latest images!

The adjectives most often used to describe me are; easy-going, creative, professional, fun, reliable, lively, intuitive and honest.

I 'm a bit of a perfectionist and passionate about my art.

I think that to become a better photographer you have to know how to break the rules once you have learned them.

I am a great fan of Photoshop which adds another creative dimension to photography although it increases the time spent at my desk!

When the occasion allows, I enjoy a pictorial photo-journalistic approach where the image tells a story.

A picture is worth a thousand words
