I caught the photography bug when my dad bought me my first camera - Olympus OM20 with a 50mm f/1.8 lens - for my birthday when I reached the age of 13.

I studied Photojournalism at Tower Hamlets College in London. I owe a debt of gratitude to the school and to my tutor, Tony Lam; I mustn't forget my course colleagues for their support and friendship. I wish them all luck in the photographic careers.

I came to Flickr through the excellent STROBIST site at Strobist.com - check it out for excellent advice for anyone wanting to explore the art/science of off-camera flash.
