Born in England in the last century my love affair with photography started primarily as a means to record and document my travels, soon photography became a large part of the the reason I travelled.

As I spent more and more time behind a camera I found it to be both therapeutic and exciting. The time I spent planning and creating photographs grew as I hungered to learn more and more about the craft through books, magazines and tuition.

The more I explore the more I learn, the more I learn the more I want to explore - I doubt this will ever change. I have moved through a variety of formats and from film to digital on my adventures. The one thing that has not changed is my love for the craft nor my anticipation as I wait for the photograph to appear before me.

I emigrated to New Zealand a number of years ago where my love of the outdoors and my desire to capture it has grown further. I am blessed to live in a country of great natural beauty whose landscape changes with every bend and fork in the road.

You only improve your photography by "getting out and doing it" it doesn't matter how many books you read, how many workshops you attend, it's time in the field that counts.

I will continue to search for that elusive "one in a million" photograph when my trigger finger and the elements align to produce that one defining moment. Let me know if you think I'm getting close!
