Biography

It seems as if photography has always been a part of my life, as my interest in it started in my teens. Consequently, my view of the world is affected by it; I look for compositions wherever I am. My passion for landscape photography in particular grew tremendously over the last ten years and, during this time, I received invaluable help and encouragement from fellow photographers including Derry Brabbs and Joe Cornish. However, my real inspiration comes from the landscape around me.

Like any art form, photography is a very personal and subjective thing. When I set out with my camera, it is not with any pre-conceived ideas about what people might like and want to hang on their walls. Rather, it is with the hope that I can capture an image which goes some way to conveying my love of the landscape. Of course, a natural extension of this is the hope that others are in some way moved by my photographs.

During 2007 and 2008 I will be engaged on a major commission for the Duchess of Westminster. My task is to photograph the landscape and architecture of four rural estates located in Cheshire, Lancashire, Scotland and Spain.

I hope you enjoy my images.
