I first fell in love with photography at the age of 13 when my parents bought me a Kodak Ektra camera to take on a school trip in the early 80s. It was a truly awful camera with terrible image quality but despite this and with practice, and learning the basics of composition, I took some half decent shots.
Through my work, I strive to create images that resonate with authenticity and emotion. I like to sat that I take photos about people rather than of them whether that be photographing an artist on stage, an athlete in action, or a family in the park. My goal is always to capture the true spirit of the person or people in that moment.
I prefer to work with natural light as it is more flattering and offers a creative dimension to my photography. Before I take a single shot, I spend time getting to know my subjects and the kinds of images they are looking for. This helps put them at ease during the photo shoot which always makes for better shots.
When Im not behind the camera, you can find me enjoying live music, watching sport or spending time with my friends and family. I am a devoted coffee drinker and wherever I go, like to search out the best independent coffee shops. Im not really a drinker but I do enjoy the occasional single malt whisky.
