The self indulgent bit

This is the bit where I share with you that my love for photography started in my Granddad's darkroom, taking snaps on a Kodak Instamatic when I was eight, but I’m afraid that isn’t true. What I really wanted was to be in the music business - perhaps as a promoter, a record label boss, or even owning a record shop! However, I have worked as a full-time professional photographer for over 25 years. Don't worry, I'm not ancient - I'm a young forty-something. My photography career started as a film photographer, shooting weddings on medium format film. This was the perfect way to hone my craft of seeing and capturing light. Film is an unforgiving format, which means that you learn quickly and well.

Now I go on to enlighten you that I love coffee and chocolate, but who doesn’t? However, what I'm truly passionate about is my work, which comes second only to my family. I also enjoy a unique hobby of Scottish Island bagging - I've already visited 25 of them, with 675 remaining to explore! I'm also a big music enthusiast, and my taste ranges from Sleaford Mods to Leftfield, and from reggae and rap to punk and drill; in fact, I used to play bass in a punk band back in the 80s. I also love writing, author Philip Pullman was my English teacher at school, and I enjoy creative writing, and of course reading. We also have ten cats, so I am, without a doubt, a mad catman!
Lastly, I have a lot of experience with weddings, having photographed over 1500 of them. I'm a friendly and personable individual, and always happy to share my knowledge and experiences with others.
