My Journey

MY JOURNEY
What an adventure!

It's been a rollercoaster of experience so far...

A lifetime of experiences 
- what an adventure!

That was not the start though as prior to that, I learned how to load cassettes with 35 mm film for my father’s Agfa rapid. 

In the years before digital, I used almost every type of film camera including ¼ plate and rail cameras with a black cloth over my head! During those informative years, I spent some time with the very well-known photographer Terence Donovan however since I preferred architecture to fashion, I made the switch to interiors and natural history. I submitted work to Architectural Digest which was published along with various other magazines. 

A good photographer can capture almost any image using their own knowledge of the subject, the light and the camera. I can, and have shot dozens of genres over the years from Royalty to venomous snakes, flowers to fights.

A camera is a fantastic tool and the crucial thing, as with any craft, is to be able to understand what that tool does and how best to use it. Cameras capture a moment in time. Once you have mastered the art, you can photograph quite literally anything. Over the years, I have had work accepted by The Smithsonian Institute of America, The Natural History Museum, The Museum of Humanity in San Diego in addition to various magazines.

I have photographed the Indigenous Nobe-Buglé Indians of Central Panama and the Kuna Indians of the San Blas Islands.


My work featured in an exhibition in the USA lasting for 3 months.


Over the years, I have photographed weddings, after my first one in 1978, in the UK, India, Italy and Central America, in fields plus cathedrals.

 

In 2012, I opened my first studio which was rented and I have now progressed to having my own studio in Four Marks, Hampshire.

 

I am passionate about the structure of the photograph as a piece of art. The subject, lighting, background etc. are all important in my work and I take great care in the detail.

 

The design of the image is in my head before I press the shutter. I know exactly what I want to capture, and it is then a case of finding the best way to do it.
