Biography
I started photography back in 1985 joining a Camera club to learn how to use the camera and the basics of composition within the picture area. I had always had an interest in the Natural world and i soon started to expand this interest by taking images of the wildlife that could be found locally. This then escalated into using my images to illustrate the talks that i was giving and also to enter club competitions, after regularly gaining success in club competitions I was encouraged to put together a panel of my wildlife images and submit them for assessment to the Royal Photographic Society in the hope of gaining a distinction from them.
This I did and was successful without having to make any changes to my chosen panel and awarded a distinction from the RPS, spurred on by my success i then began entering external competitions and had success here gaining a PAGB gold medal for one of my submitted Images and winning the SPA Biannual competition. My next move was to become a photographic Judge which I achieved and spend time commenting on Wildlife Images in various club competitions along with giving a series of lectures to clubs and societies on mainly wildlife subjects and how to photograph them.
I have now developed my passion for the Natural world and photography to a professional level, and now run a series of workshops to teach others the photographic skills required to capture wildlife images for themselves. My workshops also encourage the students to explore the countryside for themselves and to both promote and encourage the conservation of our flora and fauna for future generations to enjoy. My Images have sold internationally to magazines and have also been used in professional presentations by lecturers.
