I want to wish all my visitors and clients a very HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I hope you all had a magical Christmas.

Keep those special moments recorded forever.

I understand that sometimes it can take time to relax in front of the camera, this can be helped by shooting in a familiar surrounding and wearing clothes you feel comfortable in. My eye for capturing memories and finding the best pose to suit you will help catch those natural moments on camera.

If alternatively you have a special place you would like to be photographed I am more than happy to travel to accommodate this.

Photographs can make fantastic Christmas gifts which is why I am also offering this promotion in gift vouchers.

A personal self portrait.

I have always been fascinated with reflections, abstraction and a different way to view the world.

In February 2009 we were leaving the port  at Fort Lauderdale, USA, on a turnaround day. I had just finished shooting the new passengers boarding the ship and decided to take a walk out on deck. I loved how you could still make out the skyscrapers in the distance.  I was even more delighted to take a shot where I could incorporate myself in this landscape. Taken on board the Ruby Princess.

There is a big rush on the cruise ships to see the first sail away.  In January 2009 I experienced my first one in Los Angeles, U.S.A on the Sapphire Princess.

I noticed how the sun was casting shadows of the guests over the deck. I chose to shoot at a low angle and expose for the shadows, which created the silhouette of the people and kept the shadows.
