Welcome to my "about me" page

I was introduced to photography through a gift I received when I was around 17.  I have been an amateur photographer for over 20 years, turned professional in 2005.

What drives me

My photography is fuelled by a keen interest in wildlife, conservation and environmental issues.  Photography is a very powerful tool.  My interest is also enhanced through voluntary work and working hand in hand with charities for their benefit, and occassionally for mutual gain.

The Company

The Company was set up in May 2005, and the photographic equipment I use is digital.  I make a habit of not modifying the photographs in any way except occasionally trimming the edges down, which one might do with a film photograph.  Other than this, all my own work appears as it was taken. 

A few years ago I travelled to Poland, twice, for a working holiday.  This involved monitoring and research into carnivore behaviour in Carpathia.  Research included otters, wolves and bears, where they were, what they ate, and the effect they had on each other and the food chain.

Also, I volunteered at my local osprey site for the RSPB, and have assisted a separate organisation in monitoring barn owls in my area on and off for a number of years.

I am currently also studying for a Zoology and Conservation degree at my local University, I believe that this will enhance my photographic work, and conversely enable me to be more pro-active in wildlife preservation in the longer term.

Thank you for looking
