Welcome to my website

I have been taking photographs since my youth, using photography to document and support my life, work and independent projects. It has also provided a visual notebook of people and places.
A selection of these images is shown here: part library, part porfolio.

Qualification and early work

I studied at the highly-respected School of Photography in Harrow College of Technology and Art (now part of the University of Westminster), specialising in scientific and industrial applications. While there, I started work in the photographic industry with Paterson Products as a studio and darkroom assistant then moving to the graphic arts side of Agfa-Gevaert where provided technical support and product testing for UK customers. This continued at De Vere, a UK manufacturer and importer of equipment destined for professional photography studios and processing labs, where my role later developed into UK- and export sales, in particular looking after 'bespoke' customer requirements.

Professional qualification and experience led to Associateship of both the Institute of Incorporated Photographers (now the British Institute of Professional Photography) as well as The Royal Photographic Society. I also had voluntary roles in the Society, as Editor (2015-20) of Analogue Journal, and on the Education Committee (2018-9).

Later work

The early 1990s saw the rapid decline in the widespread use of film-, paper- and darkroom-based photography and a complete reorganisation of the photographic industry. For me, after a period of transition, this led to a change of career and I became a teacher. Since then, I have studied- and worked overseas as well as in the UK, still making use of photography to record the journey.
