I've been involved with photography for longer than I'd perhaps like to remember! I had my first camera as a teenager and used it as much as I could to photograph aircraft on my regular visits to Birmingham airport. And even today still retain that lifelong love and interest in aircraft. My interest in wildlife developed from an early age, but was really re-kindled in the early eighties when i liv
ed in Germany as I enthusiastically tried to photograph wild boar in a local wood, at the same time as seeing a slide show from fellow wildlife photographer Tony Wharton. The rest, as they say, is history. Having spent a great deal of my working life in aviation, firstly as an air traffic controller and then as an airport manager, I am now a UK based professional wildlife photographer, leading my own series of Photo-tours designed as small group tours and organised specifically for the wildlife photographer and nature lover. I have over the years exhibited widely in National and International photographic salons and received many major awards, including FIAP, PSA, RPS, PAGB & BPE Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals. I also regularly act as a selector for the major UK International & National series of photographic exhibitions and have been responsible for the selection of many salons with RPS, FIAP, PSA, BPE & PAGB patronage. Commercially my images have recently been used by the Advanced Photographer, RSPB, The Times, Daily Mail, FITB, Burghley Life & Ordnance Survey.
