I have been taking photographs for over 25 years and in the last 15, have specialised in aviation and motor sport. Although aircraft and motor cars feature heavily in my portfolio, I do experiment with landscape photography and have had some commercial success in this area as the subject matter tends to have more universal appeal. I have a website under construction where limited edition prints will soon be available to purchase.

Purpleport is the platform I wish to use to showcase work from my relatively new journey into studio, figure and glamour work.  For glamour, I prefer images that accentuate the beauty in the models I work with - generally leaning towards images that leave something to the imagination or those with impact. I tend to be highly self critical and only publish images that I am happy with, so many do not see the light. I am beginning to find and develop my own style now and prefer to shoot with specific themes in mind, using props that tell a story. The most important thing is to make your subject feel comfortable and relaxed - that is first and foremost on any shoot.

In this business, one should always strive for excellence and seek inspiration from the masters of our art form (living or dead). Photographers that are great inspiration sources for me are Peter Gowland, Herb Ritts, David Bailey, Nick Knight, Mario Testino and Rankin.
