Recently I started shooting model portfolios. I have found it a challenge as it is totally different from nature and wildlife. But I am pleased with my progress and the results so far.
I also photograph pets, particularly dogs and reptiles; and try to capture the unique character and personality of the animal - after all they are family members too and deserve to be treated in the same way as our other studio clients.
Photographic training: I have been with the SWPP for a number of years now and have attained my Associate qualification for my macro wildlife images, a Licentiate for my pet portraits and at the 2015 Convention I was awarded Associate qualification for Portraiture. I have been fortunate to achieve a number of Gold awards with the SWPP and was really pleased to be nominated for the Portrait Avant Garde Photographer of the Year Award for 2014. I also attend regular workshops to keep up with the latest teachings and to refresh and maintain my skill-set.
My interests outside photography include rugby, geology, ecology, extreme weather systems, gardening and rock music.
Why I like The Societies: The Societies caters for all my photographic needs and provides me with a platform for my macro, nature and fine art work as well as my studio portrait work, something that is severely lacking in the other Associations.
Future plans: I'm currently working on the 2nd book in the Photography for Kids series
