​There is always a subject, be it landscape or portrait, waiting to be captured. That is the most intriguing part of photography for me. As a child, my mother and I would go travelling frequently and she bought me a camera to be the photographer. When I was 12, a tubby Jack Russell joined the family. This widened my scope dramatically. I would spend hours trying to get him in the position to get the exact shot I wanted. From being mid-air jumping for his beloved tennis ball; to chomping on a carrot in the back garden; to peacefully sleeping in his bed. Spud still never ceases to disappoint my photographic appetite. Whilst I have a streak of impatience in my character, I seem to have endless patience to getting the shot I want.
 
I have yet to find a particular theme of photography that I do not enjoy. I have explored many different types of photography including a range of location shoots for architecture; environmental portraiture; sky and sunset landscapes as well as studio work for portraiture and still life. Learning and experimenting with film and the manual developing of an image is also another aspect of photography that I enjoy. The whole idea of working with analogue cameras and in the darkroom is a technique I love. Physically making and seeing an image come to life with an out-dated look containing all the real human mistake that haven’t been Photoshoped out is so satisfying and fulfilling to be able to say, ‘I made that plain white paper into a masterpiece!’
