I was born in the County of Buckinghamshire, England in 1966 and I still live in this area. I started taking photographs at around the age of eight.

Largely self taught, I progressed to an all manual SLR in my early teens before eventually migrating to a Canon EOS650 in late '87. I believe that an in depth understanding of the fundamentals of photography is essential and can only be gained through time spent working with a fully manual camera - something easily forgotten in today's world of autoexposure and autofocus. I have stayed with the EOS system, going to digital in recent years, despite being so nearly tempted to expand to medium format. Developments in digital have pursuaded me against this for the time being.

Over the last few years I have started to take my photography more seriously. This has been the result of encouragement to develop further following attendance on several Light and Land workshops in the UK. I have also travelled in the USA, Canada, Europe and Morocco.
