About

The images on the site are moments in time ,captured from the places,where our family life takes us.Some are spontaneous,with little or no planning, as a remarkable sunset develops.Others reflect my visits to local woodlands and the landscapes of the Peak District,the coastal areas of East Yorkshire and the Lakes.

I worked for 34 years in the local steel industry, at Corus Engineering Steels Rotherham, as a Mechanical Engineer.Those early years at work,founded my interest in photography and my first experience of darkroom developing and printing were in the old Parkgate Iron & Steel works offices.That experience of creating images in a developing tray continued, but only until the digital revolution came along.

My passion for photography never faltered, as I gradually traded various cameras and other gear,to the point of owning the professional equipment I own today.

I went to a friend's wedding in 2009 and met Glynn & Jeff of GJ Photography,an established wedding & portrait photography business in Bawtry.I was invited to join them and have covered 15 weddings in 2011, as part of their team.

I love all aspects of photography,sometimes taking an age to set up a landscape shot, in the tranquility of the Lakes. At other times capturing the special moments at a couples wedding is absolutely magical;the preparations,the smiles,the tears and the joy,just being there with a camera is special.
