I have been taking photos since the age of 10. The camera I had then was a box brownie and had no controls at all. But it taught me from an early age that you don’t necessarily need a sophisticated camera to take evocative images.

I am an award winning photographer & past president of a highly regarded West Midlands photography club and ran workshops for them on all aspects of photography.

I'm a professional portrait photographer with over 750 clients and I'm the official photographer for many local schools & nurseries
