Hello and thank you for your interest and taking the time to look at my website.
I was born in Dartmouth, Devon and moved to Cornwall in 2002 where I now live with my partner and three adorable cats.
I took up photography at the tender age of seven when I joined my primary school camera club. My first camera being a Kodak instamatic 126. I remember my first picture was of a very sad looking 4 inch high snowman!
As I grew up my passion for photography became an obsession and I read every photography book I could lay my hands on. After a lot of wasted film and frustrations I slowly became to understand and appreciate the real beauty and self expression that photography could offer.
I now work mainly in digital, a fantastic medium for getting creative with! I use my photographs as my colour pallette and my computer as my canvas. The possibilties with digital for creativity are unsurpassed, freedom of expresssion at last which I find totally liberating and very exciting.
My camera is a Canon 30D and I recently purchased a Canon G9, a super little camera, perfect for filling my pallette with new images to play with.
I have worked professionally as a darkroom technician, hand printing cibachromes and black and white photographs, so I really appreciate what a good print should look like. Quality is of paramount importance to me when I sell my work.
I print all my own photographs using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 using genuine Epson K3 Ultrachrome inks. My favourite paper is the hahnemuhle pearl.
I attended Newport School of Art and Design in 1994, where I achieved an HND in documentary photography.
Awarded Associate of the Royal Photographic Society - June 2007
