About Me

Welcome

Growing up around the fantastic coastline of Dorset, my photographic interest began with a passion for the unique natural surroundings.

I enjoy trying to bring a creative edge to my landscape photography and enjoy the post processing element, along with learning new techniques.

Over the last few years I have had many images published in photography magazines, local books and newspapers. I have also won several awards for my monochrome photography.

During 2010 I had one of my images commended by the judges of the Take a view - Landscape Photographer Of The Year 2010 and won a place in the Awards book. In addition, it was displayed in the National Theatre exhibition. I also picked up 4 awards at the International Photography Awards.

My passion for black & white photography began with the classic images from great photographers such as Ansel Adams. It wasn’t until I discovered the more recent works of artists such as Michael Levin and Michael Kenna that my interest really developed into more of an obsession. I have always had a very keen eye for lines and symmetry, so this style really appeals to me. I also love the simplicity of monochrome and the beauty that can be conveyed through contrast and light.

I also have a passion for landscape photography and benefit from some fantastic local locations living here in Dorset.

Living by the coast has provided me with a good amount of subjects and generally most of my long exposure shots are taken around the sea. Once I have found a location I feel will make a great mono shot, I will often return a few times to try and achieve the best possible results, which normally revolves around weather conditions and cloud movement. It’s a great feeling to find what seems like a very ordinary subject and transform this into something beautiful though long exposure photography.

Also being an experienced Photoshop user I benefit from an excellent understanding of digital photographic filters. I am currently part of the beta testing team for Nik Software who are the market leaders in digital filter development.

I hope the images shown here on my website show the passion that I have for landscape and seascape photography and I hope you enjoy viewing them.
