Ever since I had my first ‘point and shoot’ camera I’ve wanted to communicate how I see and feel a place in the images that I make. As a keen hill walker, traveller* and designer I’m drawn to landscapes, architecture and new and unfamiliar places. I try to convey the emotions stirred in me by (amongst other things) the wild beauty of British landscapes, the epic grandeur and rich textures of historic buildings, the bold forms of modern architecture, and the vibrant sights of a foreign place to my outsider’s eye.
However it wasn’t until the 1990s, when I was working at the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, that I began to learn the technical skills I needed. Mr. Bob Cox kindly sold me my first Nikon SLR (a Nikkormat EL2) for a bargain price with a half hour crash course in using it thrown in. Since then it’s been a constant experimenting and learning process. I began with (and occasionally still use) film but gradually made the move to digital from 2007 – although my manual lenses still have pride of place in my camera bag.
*A bit of a romantic notion. Like everyone else, I’m just another tourist really.
Galleries
I’ve thought about building fancy database driven galleries of my images. But then Flickr came along and did it so much better and added a whole heap of useful community and sharing tools. So please see my Flickr pages or click on one of the images above to view galleries of my work (which I’m slowly adding to).

Unfortunately both the galleries that handled my fine art print sales have now closed but please feel free to contact me about directly purchasing limited edition mounted prints.
