Ok, me... Well I grew up in rural Somerset in the 80s on a mixture of blue slush puppies and Saturday morning cartoons. I've had an artistic temperament for most my life with a fondness of drawing from an early age, but despite this, a logical brain and career prospects pushed me in the direction of a computer science degree, which I attained from Swansea University in 1999. I bought my first digital camera in 2001 and found it's combination of artistic creativity and technical geekery appealed to me. Several years back I decided I needed a better camera to capture the safari we were going on for our honeymoon, so I picked up a second hand Canon DSLR and taught myself how to use of for a year before the trip. Now I appear to be hooked and see the world as a series of opportunities to be captured through a viewfinder. I have been shooting weddings since 2009 and love them! Every one is different, personalised to the tastes of the participants, so they never get boring. Photographing weddings, I seem to have as much fun as any guest!
As well as weddings I also shoot portraits as well as some more creative modelling shoots with various photography groups - see here for an example, or maybe even here. Photography for me is a favourite pastime as well as a job skill. My other activities include karate, running and trying and failing to hide how much I spend on camera stuff from my wife.
I also photograph and review live gigs for online music magazine Roomthirteen.com Currently, you'll find me living in North Bristol with my wife, Becky, a couple of cats and a bunch of chickens. |
