About

Whilst not exclusively a wildlife only photographer, this website is all about my passion for wildlife, its beauty and for wildlife conservation in general. It is very much a personal journey and as such a continuous work in progress.

I am a largely a self-taught photographer, I have for a long time used film cameras both on land and underwater culminating in the fabricating of a rig for a photogrammetry project underwater; this was to define defects in welded parts underwater utilising only one camera instead of the usual stereoscopic pair.

When digital became more affordable I moved from a Nikon F series to a Nikon D2Xs and have used successive digital models since then.

Having a science and engineering background the technical side of photography has been relatively easy to navigate, it is however, a permanent learning curve to find a creative side to my images and my desire to improve is a constant driver in my quest.

I hope you enjoy the site
