About me
I have been taking images on and off for the last 30 years. I was given and Praktica film SLR for my 18th birthday (many years ago!) and in my twenties I completed a City & Guilds qualification with a friend which gave me a perfect grounding in the basics of photography plus her father taught us how to develop film and create prints in his home darkroom. Even in this digital age, that knowledge and experience is invaluable. In latter years as my children have grown up I have have been able to do more of the hobby I love. Over these more recent years my focus has been on landscape and outdoors photography. My next thoughts are towards retirement and being able to give it much more time.
I am always learning and growing as a photographer, there is always something new to master in this technological age but the most important I value is being out in the fresh air in the environment, always trying to better the last image I took!
I shoot anything outdoors - coasts, mountains, hills, woodlands and waterfalls, piers, lighthouses and castles - all of which are in abundance in Wales! I also post some of my personal photography projects on these pages so please keep an eye out!
As you will see from my gallery, I have mix of images from the West of England and Wales as well as some other places in the UK. My ambition is to travel more in this country but also aboard. I have a trip to Iceland next year, which is on my photography bucket list!
I hope you enjoy my images and if you want to know more, please feel free to reach out and contact me.
