I studied photography as a student at Art College. When I left College I found that taking photos using the Praktica MTL3 became harder work than I was prepared for, so I sold all of my gear and replaced it with an instant point and shot camera, which my wife primarily used.

When Digital Cameras became affordable I decided to get a Fuji S602 Zoom. Having the ability to take photos, review them immediately and then retake to get the shot right was brilliant. Over the following few months I took hundreds of pictures and leant how to use a camera again. Once competent at using the digital I bought myself a Canon EOS 3 and a couple of lenses and then found that there was indeed a huge difference between digital and film, another rapid learning curve. In a matter of months I found that I had reached the limitation of the fixed lens Digital camera, and purchased a Canon EOS10D and have never looked back.

I primarily take pictures of Landscapes with particular interest in the Sun and Water. In addition to my passion for photography I am completely obsessed with Motor sport. Having a brother that races and runs his own motor sport company meant that I could go along to race meetings and take photos of racing cars for free. Unfortunately this was rather short lived as I became too popular and upset the other photographers, who got me banned from selling photos! Not stopped by this, I moved to a sport called Grasstrack, which is very similar to Speedway but run on a grass oval.

I now run my own Motor sport Photography company, that specialises in Large format 'Print on the Day' all run from the back of a 4x4. see more of my work
