I live in Gloucestershire, England and have been interested in photography for many years.

I studied “The Art of Photography” with the Open College of the Arts and found the course to be both engaging and challenging with its practical focus on ‘A Way of Seeing’, ‘The Frame’, ‘Elements of Design’, ‘Colour’, ‘Natural Light’, ‘Artificial Light’ and ‘Narrative and Illustration’.

I have also attained the Licentiateship distinction from the Royal Photographic Society.

I particularly enjoy street and travel photography and am influenced by renowned photographers such as Ernst Haas, Saul Leiter, Garry Winogrand, Vivian Maier, Janet Delaney, Fred Herzog, Harry Callahan, Stephen Shore and Harry Gruyaert.
