I like to photograph to show what's around us from my own perspective. Often, it's just about the ordinary things in my local area, the beach, sunrise on the coast and coastal living. I’ve been photographing since the early ‘80s and I take photos just because I like to, nothing more complicated than that! It's about the process as much as the end result. I print my photos and have a regular rotation of prints on the walls at home.
Thank you for taking the time to look through my photos.
I don't push prints for sale but if you're interested in acquiring any prints drop me an email; click on the envelope above.
Sometimes I get asked what I use to produce my photos. I don’t think it’s that important, but I do enjoy the 'gear' aspects of photography, including post processing. It is important to understand your equipment so that you use the right tool for the job. In the digital past I've used Nikons (a bunch including D70, D90, D200, D800) and Fujifilm (most of the XT range at some stage) and in the film past I've used Mamiya (PRB67 Pro SD and Mamiya 7), Contax G1, Nikon FA and processed my film and printed in a home darkroom. I don't keep my cameras/ lenses and trade them when I want to change/ upgrade so for now I have...
