My interest in photography had been merely as an admirer of great pictures until 2005, when the opportunity to trek to Everest Base Camp arose, and I was inspired to try to capture the awesome splendour of the Himalaya through my eyes, while raising money for charity.
My photography tutor happened to be president of a local camera club, and invited me to show my work on my return. I did. It was suggested by some members that as I was raising money for charity some of the pictures were saleable. My first exhibition took place over 2 nights and secured orders for 53 framed prints.
I was hooked! I soon began to work commercially as a photographer as well as having a portfolio of other income earning roles, which included photojournalism.
I achieved ARPS distinction soon after joining the Royal Photographic Society; I've twice been invited to solo exhibit in regional art centres;I sell framed prints online through Artfinder website and license images to commercial buyers through a gallery.
Now I am retired I concentrate purely on Abstract Artworks created from my photos.
