I have had a passion for photography of all kinds since my student days, when I held my first SLR, a fully manual, externally metered Zenith E. Over the next few decades, a family and a career in the corporate world (computers and IT), put much of the photography to one side.
Recently, the passion has resurfaced and I now work professionally as a photographer, providing a variety of services, both behind the camera as a photographer, but also in post-processing work with anything from photo-manipulation and retouching, to providing Giclée fine art prints from artists photographs and paintings.
I am now back in full time education as a (very?!) mature student, undertaking a HND/BA in photography. This forces me to undertake photographic projects that I might not otherwise consider, or shy away from. I do think that to fit properly back into student life, I need to get some tattoos and/or piercings. I clearly don't have enough metalwork or body art to be trendy!
Basically, if it moves I will photograph it, usually at a high shutter speed. If it stays still I might photograph it several times, taking advantage of different angles, lighting etc. Or, if the lighting is complex or 'wide' then I will employ HDR techniques.
I photograph people, places, and pretty much anything that is a noun. Please visit the Portraits and Events pages for more details of professional services offered. You can click here to contact me by email, and telephone information is on the portrait/event price list.
