Buying my first digital camera in 2001, I found it's combination of artistic creativity and technical wizardry appealed to me. Several years back I decided I needed a better camera to capture the safari we were going on for our honeymoon, so I picked up a second hand Canon DSLR and taught myself how to use it for a year before the trip. Since then, my passion for photography has flourished and my gear upgraded several times to the professional level equipment I use today. Now I see the world as a series of opportunities to be captured through a viewfinder. I started shooting weddings in 2009 alongside award winning professional photographer Albert Palmer and loved every one! Each is different, personalised to the participants' particular tastes and fancies, so they never get boring. I seem to have as much fun as any guest!
I grew up in rural Somerset in the 80s. I've had an artistic temperament for most my life with a fondness of drawing from an early age, but despite this, a logical brain and career prospects pushed me in the direction of a computer science degree, which I attained from Swansea University in 1999.
