Photography has always been my passion. I was fortunate enough to study photography full time back in the 80’s (the 80’s), before digital cameras were even dreamed of, and learned how to develop photographs using smelly chemicals in dark rooms! These days I use a Nikon D300, and process my images using Photoshop, but the thrill is still the same.

In 2007 I was a finalist in The Daily Telegraph’s ‘Our Lives’ photography competition, selected from over 50,000 entrants and was exhibited in London’s ‘Proud’ Gallery . In 2008 I was awarded membership of the Royal Photographic Society. In 2009 I had my portfolio reviewed by The Guardian, and am now taking bookings for human and pet portraits, and commissions for any other genre of photography; be it food, fashion or the occasional wedding.
