I don’t know whether it was a fascination with life that got me into photography or something else. From a young age I loved to observe and draw. Though when there was a camera in my hand something else happened. The camera gave me an excuse to explore the world and capture moments, it gave me a sense of connection. There was a beauty in that for me.

I travelled and travelled for seven years, but then I had one of ‘those years’ where things got a little too exciting: ships sinking, volcanoes erupting, a little too close to bombing- you know how it is. I realised it was time to come home and put work out into the world. I have recently won a series of awards including a couple travel photography. For me it isn’t about acclaim- instead it is that fact I love being able to create beautiful images of our astounding planet. I certainly hope you like what you see. Most of my pictures have a story, I try to add that to the write up. I intend for my images to be more than just an image- maybe a connection or a feeling. Whatever it is I hope it makes you feel good.

Please enjoy.

Goylegate One Gargantuan Scandal - Final Edit.

‘Stop right there!’ A person dressed in black had hollered. / Instinctively she had scarpered. The chase began with one angry looking man and now there were already ten pursuing her.

When Salsa goes bad...

So my hamstring feels odd so I stand up quickly. Obviously we are still in this hold when I realised the peruvian guy is suspended from my arms, his feet dangling in the air.

Small horse syndrome.

All the while I hid behind the camera in hysterics. Finally I took the camera from in front of my face and the crowd realised that I was struggling.

Inflatable palm trees and hula mayhem.

Jenny cleverly wore a skin coloured halter neck which resulted in everyone (the men) doing a double take at her.

Remote control planes and fringe eating puppies!

Anyway moral of the story: do not allow your brother to fly radio contolled planes at your head. If it is really necessary invest in an indestructable plane proof helmet!

Horse events and angular tent pitching for girls.... Quantock.

After the hog roast and my vegetarian version:quiche. Yes I know that a quiche rotating on a stick over a fire does not conjure the same romantic imagery. That is why I said Hog roast…
