Hi there….

 

Basically I have been interested in photography since 2007 I have used Nikon camera’s and bought a Fuji HS-20 in August 2011, my interest primarily is landscapes, seascapes, beach combing etc.

 

My hometown is Huddersfield and I feel very strongly about my heritage, I have strong ties with Marsden, and Meltham, and love the architecture of Huddersfield town centre. I now reside in Lancashire where I have some great landscapes on my doorstep, Hollingworth Lake and Blackstone edge feature heavily in my work.

 

My style is very ‘organic’ I use filters and other applications; I have a quirky interest in textured objects, and find beauty in strange forms. I find extreme black and white shots fascinating and feel myself drawn to that style; I also appreciate Victorian architecture and wrought iron.

 

My journey will continue and I add images that I find interesting rather than adding things that I feel are perfect.

 

I hope you find my work both inspirational and interesting.

 

My current cameras are Nikon, Canon 60D, Fuji HS-20, and Kodak, also some limited stuff on Iphone 3GS,iphone 5.

I have some great vintage lenses, Carl Zeiss Jena, Pentagon 35 - 70 2.8.
