Writing this Jan 2022: I’m fully Covid vaccinated including a booster. When working with or alongside me, I would prefer notification of vaccination or appropriate testing when we arrange things. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

 Many years as a hobbyist but recently took the challenge of joining a local photographic club: and now very seriously involved in many themes of photography. My passion is photographing people and places; particularly portraits, cityscapes and landscapes. I have travel experience in Europe, the USA and New Zealand.

On a number of occasions I have worked closely with a well established professional photographer in Birmingham: gaining valuable experience of photo shoot technique plus camera skills. I have attended two camera courses in Birmingham city centre and now, at this time, regard myself as a having sufficient experience for the next level; that being, meeting people and demonstrating my talent and flair.

My main goal is to gain an all round knowledge of my art and if possible, go on and enter national competitions. Plus, demonstrate to myself and others that I am totally focused to produce the best work I can achieve.
