For me, it all started with an appetite for Photography!
An image takes a moment to capture but the memory lasts a lifetime.
My journey into photography started way back in the mists of time - well, the 1960's anyway! I was given my first camera aged 8 or 9, which was a Kodak Box Brownie belonging to my parents and I was hooked. The first film I put through it jammed half way through but that didn't put me off. Here I am today, using two of my favourite Sony cameras for personal as well as commercial use.
My two favourite photography genres are street and travel photography which can go hand in hand.
For my street work, I usually convert my images to black and white having been inspired by the early street photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and his book, "The decisive moment."
To me, that means capturing a little piece of history, a moment that can never be repeated.
"When you photograph a person in colour, you photograph their clothes. When you photograph a person in black and white, you photograph their soul." Ted Grant - Canadian Photojournalist.
My Travel photography images will usually be in colour to show the vibrancy of the location but if the subject suits, then I will convert to mono.
If you're after a particular image, I might have one on my hard drive already. Please get in touch to find out more.
