I have been a visual person my entire life. From study in art and architecture, to careers in textiles and visual effects, what my eyes see, and how my brain processes it, seems to be different from the norm.

Photography has also been in most of my life, one way or another. My Father took photo’s for the local rugby club, and I would help him in the dark room to process the film, expose and develop the images, I even used some of his photographs as the basis for my A Level Art exam.

In my textile career I used a rostrum camera to enlarge (and reduce) intricate designs, for my visual effects career it’s not the process, but the end image that is most important, tho it requires a higher degree of knowledge and problem solving.

My personal journey in photography began with an old Pratika SLR, I got my first digital camera in the late 1990s. In 2004 I returned to University to read a Ba in Computer Visualisation and Animation at the NCCA in Bournemouth. Then photography was a tool for capturing texture and surface detail (ask my long suffering wife).

What began in my A level Art classes, seeing the details that most people might overlook, and even deeper to this day in visual effects, seeing at such a great depth, to make the visual effects vanish in the real world cinematographic photography, i feel I can take this vision and experience over into practical photography, a more artistic photography.

With advancements in telephone photography, I could now take a “camera” everywhere with me, and began taking photos I thought were of interest.

My current phone, a Samsung s24ultra, has what I feel can be as close to a mirrorless or DSLR as you could be, though it does still have short fallings that only a larger sensor and more refined glass can correct.

As of date, almost all of the images on this site, have been shot with this phone. As time has continued on, I have had many people, friends, family, telling me that I can take a good photograph.

Though I do now own an astounding camera in a Sony A7Cr, any new content will be almost exclusively from this, but my phone will always be with me.

Now is the time to take it further.
