Our Wills and Fates do so Contrary Run

I started my career in photography by pure fate!

Driving into work one afternoon, I had the perfect journey. There were no red traffic lights and no traffic jams, so I arrived early. I walked into the office and was rewarded for being the first in by being offered a photography course. I’d always been interested in photography, so I jumped at the offer.

A few months later I had a great time being taught the finer details of photography. That started my lifelong learning about the subject and I was eager to learn as much as possible. Four years later, I left my job and moved into professional photography.

In 2024, I still enjoy photography.

I’d describe my images as more observational. I go out with my camera and explore rather than pre-planning.

Since those early beginnings, I’ve spent a small fortune on camera equipment. That is likely a familiar theme for most photographers.

I currently have a mix of cameras.

I use 35mm full-frame Panasonic Lumix cameras and lenses as my “modern” video-enabled camera.

I also have a Canon 40D and, recently, a Canon 5D; these are my “play” cameras.

Not that the camera you use has any bearing on photography.

This website shares some of the photographs I’ve taken personally and professionally.
