I was Born in Middlesbrough and left school to pursue a career in the construction industry. After several years in the industry I decided a change of direction was needed and joined my local Fire Brigade.

 During the early 80's I took up photography as a hobby and went to Stockton and Billingham Technical college to take "O" "A" level and City and Guilds in Black and White printing and developing.

​

  This is where I was introduced to various photographers in the industry and to name a few are Ansel Adams for landscape and Don McCullin for reportage. Since that time my influences have been varied and this has helped me on my photographic journey to where I feel I am today.

​

   I continued persuing photography after my retirement, my hobby has turned the corner and now I sell my photos with the aid of this new website.

​

  In May 2017 I was accepted as a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society LRPS.

​

  In March 2018 I was successful in my application for my Associate of the Royal Photographic Society ARPS.

The prints were featured in the RPS magazine in 2018 and displayed at ARPS events throughout the country for 18 months.
