I am an avid amateur photographer with a keen interest in wildlife, macro and travel photography. I particularly love capturing memorable moments and sharing views and enjoy capturing the facial expressions of animals and smaller creatures when I am lucky enough for them to allow me within range.
My style and philosophy when it comes to photography is to keep it simple, enjoy and capture the moment and take pictures I enjoy taking, on many occasions based on instinct and not always planned. I enjoy the challenge of macro photography, action shots, simple scenes which can be used as prints and of course anything to do with nature and wildlife.
I am self taught although I have been exposed to working with other amateur (and on occasion) pro photographers and thoroughly enjoy reading a range of photographic magazines, especially those which contain professional's tips and feedback on amateur photographers submissions.
I use Canon and have three bodies, two R5 mk2's, a 5D mark IV and a range of lenses ranging from a 100mm macro, 50mm f1.2, 85mm f1.2, 70-200mm f2.8, as well as 300mm, 100-500, 200-800mm and 600mm prime lenses.
