I have for over 20 years travelled extensively to various countries to experience and photograph the diversities of the cultures, landscape and wildlife.
For the last 10 years I have been a professional Self-Employed and Freelance Photographer, photographing a wide variety of commissions for my business. During this time, I have been photographing Weddings, Portraits, Commercial and Legal and also travelling to many Countries and locations producing many Travel Photographs for my ever expanding portfolio. I have done many digital and slide presentations to various groups and organisations.
Some of my photographs have over the years appeared in various publications and articles and I have won recent awards including the following:
'Remembering Fallen Comrades'
achieved second place in Bolton Camera Club Digital Image monthly competition 2011
'Leopard Portrait'
achieved third place in Bolton Camera Club Digital Image monthl competition 2011
'Blue and Yellow Macaw'
achieved third place in Bolton Camera Club Print image monthly competition.
This image of a Rainbow Boa snake was taken on the Amazon river in Peru.
It achieved a maximum mark of 20 out of 20 in an interclub competition for Bolton Camera Club against Bury Camera CLub.
Rivington Sunset won first place in the photographic competition run by the Bolton News entitled 'My Bolton'. The competition was for pictures taken during April 2010 depicting aspects of Bolton life.
I saw the opportunity to make an image of a sunset over Rivington Pike, exploiting the recent ash clouds which had been passing over from Iceland. The volcanic eruption was giving off fine particles of dust and turning the light into vivid colours at sunset.
It took 3 visits to a chosen spot on the Anglezarke Moor before I captured the right image. The result was a moody sunset which was published in the Bolton News on 15th May 2010.

I use both formats (Digital and Film) for my Travel Photography.
CANON E0S – 5D Digital Camera, CANON 50D - Digital Camera, CANON E0S 1N Film Camera, PENTAX 6x7 Medium Format Film Camera.
As I like to travel off the beaten track and to look into all aspects of the places I visit and photograph, I find that travelling by means of backpacking using local and hired transport is the best way that enables me to gain first hand experience of and close contact to the places and people I visit.
My main collection of images are from travels to India, Nepal, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, Vietnam, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and the UK.
It was always my burning ambition from being a young boy to follow and explore in the footsteps of the great Victorian explorer, David Livingstone. To satisfy that ambition, I went on a 2 month expedition from March to May 2008 taking me into Africa, through Namibia, South Africa and Botswana, travelling by LandRover and photographing Tribal People, Wildlife and Landscapes. I still have the ambition to follow this with a journey to Ethiopia.

My passion is to capture a sense of place or an expression of a person, wildlife or landscape from interacting with subjects hoping to achieve a pleasing photographic image using a wide range of photographic experience and equipment.
I hope that the website gives you as much pleasure as I’ve had visiting wonderful countries and taking the photographs.
