Creative Photography
I love creative photography and the process of planning an image and the story I want to tell. Can you think of something in your business that needs an eye catching image like these?
Wildlife Knowledge and Understanding
I’ve loved and studied wildlife all my life so it’s no surprise that, being a New Forest Photographer, wildlife photography is a major part of my work. My understanding of the animals and the empathy I have combined with artistic flare results in exceptional images. I enjoy passing on my knowledge to photographers who are keen to learn and I provide individual tuition or small workshops. Next year I am planning 2 workshops called “The Art of Nature Photography” where I aim to give delegate ideas to lift their wildlife photography above the technical and into the artistic. More information can be found here.
Great Portraits
I love meeting and talking to people and I love portrait work. It’s the interaction with the client that gives me ideas of how to say something about them and their lives. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple family portrait, a professional portfolio portrait or something a bit different, I get great pleasure in creating their images. Some of my portraits have helped people gain work or have given people new confidence and others have become Christmas presents for granny or a Social Media Profile picture and this for me are the best compliments. If you would like some professional photographs of you or the family please take a look at my Portrait Page.
Your Animal Friends and You
But our animals are part of the family too. Doesn’t matter if they are a cat, dog or horse they are dearly loved. Whether you choose to have a portrait of just your pet or if you want to be included too, I can give you a lasting memory to cherish. For my Equine photography please Look Here. For our canine friends Click Here.
How about something to decorate your Home?
I have a lovely collection of local landscapes and wildlife images that would look great on your wall. They can be finished as framed prints, canvasses on acrylic glass prints. You can choose your photograph and choose your size up to 3 metres long. Take a look in my galleries and find something you love.

Another Front Page Image!
After my success a couple of days ago I now have another Front Page Image on PurplePort. This photo called “Getting Carried Away” was great fun to do and it’s something I can provide as part of my Family Photography. If you are interested get in touch and let’s talk about your ideas or take a look at my Family Portrait Page Always start with the thought that anything is possible.
Top Dog
This is one of my favourite photos so I’m pleased to say Top Dog has been awarded “Front Page Image” status on PurplePort. PurplePort is an online forum for photographers, models, MUAs, dress designers etc. and there are some very talented people there so this is a nice feather in my cap. This has led to an interesting offer from a London studio. It would great to get my work seen a bit more in the big city.
Outnumbered!
I did a family photo shoot with Geoff, Katie and the girls a few years back and this image that came from the shoot is still one of my favourites. It does me pretty well in various photo competitions and again won a small prize for me yesterday. The whole process of this kind of shoot is a lot of fun for everybody involved and can create some images above and beyond the “usual”. The photos can also make great presents for Nan and Grandad for birthdays or even Father’s Day.

Baby Blue Tits.
So today our Blue Tits were leaving the box. Lovely little things and a rare chance to use my 50mm macro lens to photograph birds.
Which do you think is better?
Both these pictures are of the same tern fishing for prawns down at Pennington Marshes. They were taken 5 minutes apart at around 6.30am. I rely mostly on timing rather than burst rate so I’m pretty pleased with both of them. One photo doesn’t seem to do fantastically well in competitions. It’s as if the judge/viewer can’t work out what is going on. One judge even turned the print through 90 degrees because he thought it might have been presented the wrong way round. The other scored a 10/10 and a seal last night at the club. So which do you prefer?

Back from Indonesia
Jo and I had a lovely extended break in Indonesia. It’s a superb place to go with your camera. The people are lovely and very welcoming. The landscape is beautiful and the wildlife ranges from Komodo Dragons, to beautiful coral reefs together with giant manta, sharks, turtles, eagles, sunbirds and flying foxes. Here are a few photos but I shall be posting more.
