Profile
I come from Newcastle in the north of England. I moved to Denmark in 1970 and have lived there since. Originally a graphic designer /illustrator, I went on to teaching and for the last 10 years I
have been running a proff. labrador/springer kennel.
My interest for photography goes back 40 years!
I live in the forest and see wildlife almost every day.
I am especially interested in natural light and very rarely use artificial lighting in my work. I shoot with a Nikon D700.
My main area of interest is within natur and animal life. I often stalk wildlife using hunting techniques, getting as close as possible without disturbing. This sometimes brings me only a few yards from deer etc.
My redbubble album contains a widespread area of topics, this is because I always have my camera with me whereever I go! My Red Bubble album reflects who I am , where I live and what I do with my life!
