Born in Yorkshire Northern England Les spent most of his life in Harrogate before moving to Wakefield in the mid eighties. The passion for photography was always there but unfortunately his early years were spent following his love of sport before making a successful career within the motor industry.
A change of direction came in 2004 and his passion for photography was rekindled in late 2005. The current journey has been a rapid one with his award winning images and web site. Les has harnessed and moulded his photography skills to encompass most subjects. His passion though is the photography of landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes although he enjoys the challenges of new and varied subjects. The display here shows a variety of his talents behind the lens
Over these last two years, Les has featured in various magazines and a book that included an image in “The Landscape Photographer of the Year 2008 and 2009” exhibition in London. There have also been several awards on many photographic internet sites and recognition with sales of his work currently as far away as South Africa and Egypt. More recently, he took some images of Victoria Baths, Manchester (featured on the BBC2 programme “Restoration”) and these are now on display at the Baths.
