About Me

Ever since I was given my first camera on my 18th birthday, my interest in photography has grown. It wasn’t too long before I upgraded to an SLR and I continued to use it until I finally embraced the digital age, gradually working through different compact cameras before returning to SLR photography. I now work with two digital SLRs, although I still occasionally enjoy using some of the high-end digital compact cameras.
My interest until now has been as a keen amateur, enjoying photography in its own right, as well as using it to support community events and other interests such as local history.

With a strong interest in both local history and current affairs, I have released photographs non-commercially to local organisations and community groups and I have taken photographs for The Birchwood Partnership at community events they have organised. My photographs have been used in recent editions of Birchwood Community News published by Birchwood Town Council as well as on their website.

I have contributed to a number of displays relating to local history, specific events and contemporary local interest. In 2009 I gave a presentation at a community meeting about the history of a local amenity using photographs and material from my local history collection. In 2010 I was interviewed for a history show on a local radio station.

At the start of 2010, I took the photographs for a New Year’s Ball, which led to a request for similar photos at a birthday party. I also took photos for the same New Year’s Ball event at the start of 2011. A few years ago I photographed the wedding of some friends and I am photographing another wedding in 2011.

Moving forward, I am starting to explore ways of working professionally. This includes offering photographs for sale as prints, licensing digital images for use by organisations and companies, and taking on specific assignments such as photographing events, parties and portraits. I am also interested in working with established professional photographers or studios, either one-off or on a more regular basis.

All of the images on these pages are available for sale as prints or for licensing. They are of course just a tiny fraction of the images I have available. I have an on-line print sales facility with one of the leading photo retailers, and I am progressively adding images to my on-line sales galleries.

If you would like any prints, or if you wish to use any of my images, please take a look at my Products and Services page or simply get in touch. Similarly if you would like to enquire about my availability for any photography jobs, I will be pleased to discuss your requirements.

Finally, as I am just starting out in photography as a business, I am looking to build a portrait portfolio. If you would like me to take any photographs that I could use in my People and Events gallery and in a traditional portfolio of printed images, please do get in touch.

Thank you for reading this, and I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries.
