I’ve always loved photography and, whilst enjoying monochrome, am particularly drawn to colour.  I also love working with patterns, light and shade, nature, etc.

Over the years I have become particularly interested in the detail of the everyday things I see and love experimenting with the way an image may be captured.  I have fun trying out different techniques  and approaches such as taking the picture through various types of textured glass which can sometimes produce  a very pleasing ‘painterly’ effect.  It’s also fun to try capturing an image through quite unusual everyday items such as an ice bag filled with water which distorts the image and causes a lovely merging of colours.  Each time the resulting image is a possible lovely surprise  - and sometimes not (!) in which case I try again, but alter something in the process,  perhaps the light, the subject, the background or whatever it may be to, hopefully, produce a more satisfying result.  It’s often a case of ’trial and error’.  The surprise element is part of the enjoyment!
