Profile

 

Hello and thank you for visiting my website. This site displays only a small selection of my Landscape, Nature & Wildlife photographs.

I first became interested in photography in 1999 whilst studying the subject at college and continued my interest further by assisting one of Manchester's leading Wedding photographers. Over the next few years I continued my interest in the subject and quickly developed my own unique style and approach to photography. I originally began by using a Canon T70 camera to shoot B&W film and developing & printing my results in a makeshift darkroom at home. I had brief spells shooting Provia & Velvia slide film before moving to Digital in 2003.

In 2007 after building up a large client list I decided to take the plunge and become a full time professional photographer. As a full time professional photographer I have undertaken a range of photography commissions for small local business to large world-wide businesses. I regularly have work published in local and national magazines, I am a regular contributor of images and articles to a number of the UK's leading photography magazines and I am quickly gaining a reputation as one of Norfolk's most promising young photographers specialising in landscape photography. The thing I love most about professional photography is you are always being chalanged as every commission is completley different.

Based in East Anglia, the Norfolk & Suffolk Broads and Norfolk & Suffolk Coastline are all only a short drive away. These are the areas I most enjoy photographing as there are so many wonderful opportunities and locations often ignored by other landscape photographers. The Norfolk & Suffolk Broads and the salt marshes of the North Norfolk Coast are also a haven for wildlife which means whether I am photographing landscape or wildlife images I am never short of subjects or locations to photograph. I am also lucky that my girlfriend originally came from the edge of The Peak District National Park and with lots of family and friends in the area we try and visit the area for at least a few days every month.

With my own photography I work hard on trying to get the best possible image in camera and keeping the photoshop side of things quick and simple. I use Lee ND Grad filters to control exposure differences in camera, whilst I am not against photographers using modern image blending techniques such as HDR I prefer to spend my time out in the field chasing the light rather than being stuck in the office merging diffrently exposed images for hours. For me it is light that makes a really strong image and I can often be found waiting hours upon hours in the field waiting for the light to break. If the light is poor I will either wait or return to the location at a further date, by making the natural light such a priority I fell this ensures my images are bright and vibrant.  

Whether you're viewing for pleasure, to purchase prints or for commercial reasons, I hope you enjoy my work, please revisit my site as it will constantly be updated and new images will be added each month.

Forthcoming projects for 2010  include: Photographing landscape images of Norfolk, Suffolk, Northumberland, Scotland, The Peak District, The Lake District and the Welsh coast and countryside.
