I've been a keen photographer since my teens and quickly adopted Canon as a lifelong brand along with the 35mm format. Mainly B&W negatives and colour transparencies, and did my own development in the darkroom. I took all kinds of photos, but landscape and travel resonated the most. With young children in the 90s, photography was more family focused, but a brief period of redundancy in 2006 reawakened my interest, especially with the emergence of high quality digital capture. Since then I've slowly built up a stock portfolio focused more on illustrative shots, predominantly travel related, although I've dabbled with product style photography as well. Keeping this as a core, I'm now exploring creative and artistic styles with macro, digital manipulation and effects.
