“A number of years ago I became interested in the Pictorialist photographers who were pioneers of art photography in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. What particularly attracts me to their work is the way they used texture and surface manipulation to create a painterly effect or often the look of an etching: something I have tried to do with some of my digital images. 

In Dec 2010 I received a CPAGB accreditation from the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) and in Dec 2011 I became a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS) which I followed up with my Associateship (ARPS) in October 2012. My panels of images, some of which can be seen here, can be viewed in full on the Macclesfield Camera Club website, accessed via the links section. 

For 8 years up until 2014 I was president of Macclesfield Camera Club.

I regularly lecture on various aspects of photography including Composition, Landscape Photography and photographic history. I am also an accredited judge with the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union.”
