The art of photography is combining light, composition and a moment, to craft a compelling piece of visual art. Compelling because an emotional link is forged between the viewer and the image.
My photography began in my teens with film and a home made darkroom. Later, as a Professional Forester, my photographs were used to document my Professional reports for clients. Now I photograph for me. Nature and wildlife photography are my main interests but I also do studio work, travel photography and street scenes.
Apart from some very young years in New Zealand I was raised in the UK and have also lived in the USA and Canada. I have worked in the UK, USA, Canada, India and SE Asia.
I compete in international competitions recognized by FIAP, PSA and CAPA. Here my images have won gold medals and a CAPA best in show award. My images have also appeared in the local press and in juried print shows. I do not use social media.
