Portraiture
Photography is my passion. It is my main means of self-expression and a wonderfully satisfying way to waste time! I've been taking photographs ever since I inherited the family hand-me-down Kodak 126 Instamatic at the age of 10. I still remember my very first film: it was used on a school trip to Chester Zoo. A few years ago I found the photographs from that first roll of film on a trip home to see my parents. It was just a bunch of vaguely giraffe and ostrich shaped fuzzy blobs, but from that very first film I was hooked. I will always be grateful to my mum for giving me that first camera!
Today I love all kinds of photography, from modern digital photography, to Polaroid photography, to old-fashioned conventional analogue photography. Because I love gadgets almost as much as I love photography I use a wide range of equipment… most of my digital photography is done using a Pentax K-3ii DSLR, an Olympus OM-D E-M10 compact system camera (AKA CSC), or a Fujifilm X-E1 CSC with adapters to use legacy lenses from 30, 40 or 50 years ago. When it comes to analogue photography I have a large collection of classic cameras to choose from.
My favourite subjects include portraiture (if you want to be a model please do get in touch!), trees, graveyard and cemeteries (channeling my inner goth!), trees, urban scenes and street photography, and anything old and decaying (maybe I should do more self-portraiture!!).
