Born and raised in Staffs, I have been interested in photography for most of my life, although this interest increased considerably when I joined Leek Club in 2008. Over the years I have photographed a wide range of subjects, but the ones I enjoy most are natural history, portraiture and studio work; more recently my photographic repertoire expanded to include Wedding Photography. Being a member of the Club has helped to improve my skills and has encouraged me to try out new ideas by taking part in competitions and looking at the work of other very talented members.
