Profile
This collection of photographic work represents my own view of PEOPLE … & THINGS, encountered during many travels, to many interesting places.
I have been a keen photographer for many years, with a strong preference for the more “real”, rustic and gritty nature of interesting people, things and places around us. I believe that photographs don’t always have to be technically and textbook perfect to appeal to an audience, but to rather capture and freeze a moment in someone’s daily life, a moment that will probably never be repeated again in exactly the same way.
I often get asked … but none of my work is HDR (generated by software packages at least). Just hard work on many individual layers.

I hope that you will enjoy sharing in my views, as much as I enjoy creating it.
