I'm a long-term photographer who recently made the step up to Freelance after over 25 years of messing with cameras.

I've had my first article published in Digital Camera Magazine (issue 75 - August '08) - hopefully the first of many!

2008 also saw me finally relent and say 'yes' to 'professionally' photographing a wedding... since then, I've done a fair few others so I guess I must have done something right! I'm a member of the Royal Photographic Society and hope to apply for my ARPS at some point in the not too distant future.

If you like something you see, please take the time to tell me about it... on the other hand, if you want to criticise an image, please do so in a polite manner - Courtesy costs nothing but means everything!

I'm really trying to avoid being labelled a 'one-trick-pony' so you'll hopefully see a variety of styles within my photostream...

Many thanks to everyone who adds me as a contact... Unfortunately, I don't get the time to get around everyone's photostream but I do my best. Please accept my apologies if I don't reciprocate and add you in return.
