Personally... Where I am coming from

I have been taking photos for a sort time, not as long as most, but longer than some others. I never really knew quite what I wanted to do when I was growing up, and despite joining the Army, and holding a degree in computer science, being a photographer was the last thing I expected.

Well, if I am honest, back in the earlier 90’s, Viv Thomas’ work made me wish I was a glamour photographer, but it wasn’t until 2004 that I shot my first photo shoot with a model. I was pretty much hooked after that.

Creativity and the challenge of a new images and concepts now keep me hooked. It is a very additive passion, with new things to learn all the time. I get inspiration form the work of Lee Strickland and Gavin Bond and I like to break the rules of conventional photography to give my personal portfolio an edge, I now chat to Viv Thomas on email, who really was the person that made me want to pick up a camera. I come some distance in a short time, but the road I am walking is never ending, and the Journey it much better than I could have every hope it to be.
