about me
I have been incredibly lucky to have made a full time career out of taking photographs, something I enjoy enormously and have been doing for almost as long as I can remember. Below is an outline of my background and you can see in the gallery just some of the fascinating jobs that have come my way over the years. I have also tucked in there one picture not by me, but of me - looking rather nervous on the Ivory Coast rally in the early 1980's. Enjoy!
At art college much of my time was spent in the photographic department while taking a 3 year course in visual communication design.
Within weeks of leaving college I had my first full time employment at Lincoln Photographic. This was mainly darkroom work but it gave me a good insight into the real world of commercial photography.
An introduction through a photographic careers agency led to regular assignments for Colin Taylor Productions (at the time one of the country's leading motorsport picture agencies) and I moved to Kent.
Over the following years I did hundreds of commissions as a freelance for CTP and travelled very widely. Work included regular coverage of World Rally Championship events as well as numerous assignments here in the UK, often for major motor industry clients.
Since moving back to Lincolnshire wedding photography has become the major part of my business. I have found it is an area of photography that suits my abilities and personality. Working with couples on such an important day is both enjoyable and worthwhile. It is good to know that my wedding photography will be treasured, not only by the couples I work for but their children and grandchildren!
