Like many people, I’ve always had a camera with which I used to record family holidays and other life events, but it was the early 90’s before I started to take my photography more seriously. In 1991, we went on the “holiday of a lifetime” to Africa and came back with 10 reels of absolute rubbish! So I decided to do something about it and joined Kirkbymoorside camera club to learn a bit more about photography and the rest, as they say, is history!

Llanddona
Llanddona beach captured using ICM (Intentional camera movement). This was our first visit to Llanddona beach on the Isle of Anglesey and I was taken by the vast horizontal stretches of this vast beach, so I felt that this technique really captured the essence of what I was seeing. |

Reeds
A simple image of a small clump of reeds reflected in a Hebredian lochan. This image was taken in monochrome, then the colours were inverted to give this dark image. |

Tulip
A simple studio portrait of a tulip flower. I loved the delicacy of this flower, so I felt the high key treatment suited it well. |
