I am an amateur photographer having taken photos since my late teens in the 1980's.
Over the years I moved to more convenient ways of taking photos , i.e. phones and mainly holiday snaps but when I retired 8 years ago, I reignited my interest and love of photography and dived back in the world of DLSR's with great gusto.
In the last year I have completed a Diploma in Professional Photography with the Instiitute of Professional Photography for self interest and am now a qualified member of the Guild of Photographers and the RPS.
I am currently considering taking up teaching to share the skills I have gained over the last 8 years.
