About Me
My passion for photography started in my early teens. What was a hobby soon became a career, and after a spell of travelling I settled in Johannesburg to become a successful full time professional, combining both advertising and social photography. Coca-Cola, L’Oreal, Oil of Olay, Barclays Bank and Nissan Cars were among my clients.
In 1990 I returned home with my young family to start a new studio in Manchester, initially working in advertising and design, but in recent years re-establishing the wedding side I much enjoyed in South Africa. I have embraced the move to digital capture with all its benefits, and revel in the speed and flexibility of the medium.
In 2007 I was welcomed into the ranks of the Master Photographers Association (MPA) after being awarded the prestigious Licentiate qualification. The MPA, the leading organisation within the photographic industry, prides itself on the quality of its members. Membership of the Association is recognised across the world as a benchmark of excellence, and is only open to full time professional photographers, with strict entry requirements. Each member has to undergo a rigourous assessment of their work by a panel of four judges and is fully bound by the Association’s Code of Conduct.
I am based in the North West, right on the Cheshire border, close to Manchester, Liverpool, Derbyshire and all surrounding areas.
