Black browed Albatross
I've been involved with photography for longer than I'd perhaps like to remember! I had my first camera as a teenager and used it as much as I could to photograph aircraft on my regular visits to Birmingham airport. I was, I'm afraid to admit, a childhood spotter! And even today still retain that lifelong love and interest in aircraft.
My interest in wildlife developed from an early age, but was really re-kindled in the early eighties when i lived in Germany as I enthusiastically tried to photograph wild boar in a local wood, at the same time as seeing a slide show from fellow wildlife photographer Tony Wharton. The rest, as they say, is history.
Having spent a great deal of my working life in aviation, I am now a UK based professional wildlife photographer, leading my own series of photo-tours designed and organised specifically for the wildlife photographer and nature lover.
I have over the years exhibited widely in National and International photographic salons and received many major awards, including FIAP, PSA, RPS & BPE Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals.
Through photo-tours I have been involved with the Falkland Islands for many years and was fortunate enough to have been invited by the Falkland Islands Government representative to stage an exhibition of my images from the Islands at Falkland House in London in 2005.
I currently hold the distinctions of Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) and Photographer of Excellence (EFIAP). I am a member of the RPS A&F Nature distinctions panel and a past Chairman of the RPS Nature Group.
