Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you enjoy the photographs and you receive enough inspiration to take quality photos of your own or maybe come on a workshop.

I became interested in wildlife as a teenager whilst watching David Attenborough’s wildlife programmes and I fell in love with photography following a holiday to The Gambia in the early 90s photographing weaver birds, mudskippers & mammals. I became an active member of the local camera club (Wigan Photographic Society) and enjoyed much success winning awards in the club along with several national and international awards. Following a spell at another camera club, I became a member of the prestigious Wigan 10 Foto-Club. For 4 years, I helped them receive the FIAP Gold Medal for finishing 2nd best club in the world in the FIAP World Cup and also winning the Maurice Dorikens Trophy for the most consistent club in the world three times. During that time, my images helped the Wigan 10 win the PAGB PDI Championship, the PAGB Print Championship, the L&CPU Annual Print Exhibition and other events. I’m now a fully integrated and active member of Keswick Photographic Society. I’m the club’s External Competition Secretary, hoping we do well in competitions in the Northern Counties Photographic Federation, around the UK and in the world!

I’ve been running tours and workshops scaling from 1-to-1 up to 15 clients since the early 2000s to locations such as Ardnamurchan, Bulgaria, Farne Isles, Glencoe, Krakow, Lake District, Loch Ness, Marrakesh, Moidart, Mull, Northumberland, Risley Moss, Sherwood Forest, Skomer, Spain and Yorkshire Dales.

My favourite genres are wildlife, macro, rock bands and landscapes though I’m happy photographing anything that moves and anything that doesn’t! For the technophiles, my kit includes the mirrorless Canon EOS R3, the Canon R5 mark 2 and various Canon RF f2.8 lenses.

I now live in Cockermouth, Cumbria and I’m happy to speak in person at your camera club on Scottish Wildlife, Wildlife In Botswana or Flashing In Front of The Wildlife (in person only) but please read this or contact me. I’ll visit the UK L&CPU, NCPF, SPF and YPU photographic federations in person but ideally to a club that’s within a 90 minute drive. Along with the lectures, I’ve been an accredited judge within the L&CPU for quite a number of years bringing my own distinct style with constructive critique and a little humour to each event judged. I’m happy to judge in the above federations in person again within a 90 minute drive. However using Zoom, I’ll judge anywhere in the world (so long as you can understand my accent). I also currently hold four photographic distinctions:

• LRPS – Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society
• EFIAP – Excellence Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (International Federation of the Art of Photography)
• DPAGB – Distinction of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain
• BPE3* – British Photographic Exhibition awards
