Hi – it’s always interesting to read these personal bio’s! I’m a husband, father, photographer and fundraiser that failed art at school but has since spent the last 8 years trying hard to find the inner artist. Photography is my medium of choice!

I have had a long interest in creating images – my first camera, that I can remember, was a Kodak Disc camera that my parents bought me when I was about 7 years old. Strangely I still have it – though like film in general these days, you can’t buy the cartridges any more!

About 7 years ago I met Joe Cornish, in what was to become, for me, a pivotal moment. I had just bought my first Digital SLR (a Canon D60) and for some unknown reason I decided to go on a weekend course at Ravenscar, on the North East coast of the UK. I only had the briefest knowledge of Joe but I knew that I had a passion for the landscape.What was most intriguing about that meeting was the camera he uses. Photographers, much like anyone who has an enjoyment in life, love ‘gear’ and the Ebony 5×4 wooden filed camera he was using was something else. It seemed so old fashioned but just looking at the ground-glass screen, gave such greater homage to the landscape that an image was being taken of.

Needless to say I moved straight from Digital to Large Format for my landscape work and most of the images here use this format.
