The magic of seeing an image appear on a piece of photographic paper, while I watched my father rock the developing dish in the darkroom, started my interest in photography. I was probably no more than five or six years old at the time when I became mesmerized by the process. A few years later I was taking pictures and developing and printing the films myself. My passion for photography continues to grow and I now photograph what really interests me: Landscape, Aviation and Still Life. For landscape I love the Lake District. In a small area, the Lake District is roughly 40 miles square, there is so much beauty and variety - from the landscapes to the simplicity of just a leaf on a rock. The weather makes things even more dramatic with the ever changing skies and light. At first I found it difficult to do justice to this with a camera but, as my relationship with the area grew, I found I was able to capture my thoughts and feelings. Lakeland Gallery Aeroplanes have always held a great fascination for me. I enjoy photographing them, watching them and flying in them - I have been solo in a Cessna 152. All of the aeroplane pictures were taken at North Weald airfield where I work as a volunteer aircraft marshal. North Weald Gallery Still life I like because I am in full control of the situation - the subject, lighting and camera work. I get fully engrossed in the process and enjoy planning and taking my time over the shoot - to get the image in my mind onto the film or sensor. Still Life Gallery When photographing these subjects I am looking for simple strong lines and vivid colours - although sometimes I will use monochrome or a mixture of both in the same image. The light has to be special as well. This is the style I like and try to achieve.
Although this is primarily a photographic website I have, occasionally, strayed from this path when the subject takes on a greater importance and for this I must apologize. I hope you are able to find something that interests you in these pages, and please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions. Don't forget to visit the Gallery Shop, where you can purchase Original Prints Greetings Cards and Gifts of the images featured in the Galleries. |
