My photographic style: I don't know whether I have a style. Each Event whether its a Wedding or a Gig/Concert has to be handled differently and I adjust my style for each and every one to make sure I get the required results.
My greatest strengths: Making people feel relaxed whenever I am taking their photos.
I have been in photography: I have been a photographer for almost fourteen years.
How I got started in photography: I got started in Event photography because of some friends of mine who were in a group called Carnival Magic. I am very much in to the entertainment world, however, I can not sing or dance but found that I had the skill to take great photos of those who can. I got into Wedding photography by chance with friends and family making use of my skill as a photographer.
My photographic skills: The ability to understand the people and groups I am taking photographs of and producing exactly what they require.
My personality: Friendly and approachable
Geographic areas I cover: Anywhere in the UK if the price is right
Venues I frequently attend: With regard to Event/Entertainment I like Venues with a good stage and good Stage lighting. With regard to other Events and Weddings I like venues with good natural light.

Success in photography: Attained the LBPPA
Photographic training: Not much in the way of formal training, although I am looking to get a some training as soon a time and money allows.
