Who am I ?
I live in York, England. I live with my partner Sylvia and son Liam. I work as a professionally qualified social worker. I was born in Wigan, and grew up there until going to University, first in Lancaster then years later York. I have both a Bachelor of Arts degree and Masters degree. I have also studied Art and Design - which often influences my choices and style in photography.
Why Photography?
I have enjoyed taking photos ever since I was an adolescent. Ironically the earliest memory I have of taking a photo was when I visited York with my parents. My interest in taking pictures continued into adulthood although it was an intermittent pastime, which I could not really afford to take seriously. However come the advent of digital photography I could see the results immediately without having to send a roll of film off to be developed. It was about 2003 that I realised I wanted to learn more and acquire a DSLR Camera and I started to buy a few lenses. Photography soon became my passion. I now spend a lot of time doing photography related activities. It is in the past 3 years that I now have gained more knowledge and grown in self confidence to sell and show some my work to a wide audience. It is the creative process I especially adore within photography, trying to encapsulate an original portrayal of a subject in an qualitative and interesting way - this I find is a reward in itself. Photography gives me a valuable creative outlet, which is quite different from my professional working career. I plan to learn more and acquire additional skills and experience to develop as a photographer which I hope can give a unique and interesting view of the world around me.
