I am a self-taught photographer. I like nature and garden photography, but I also experiment with other genres. I use a full-frame Nikon D750 DSLR and own a variety of lenses — macro, telephoto, art, vintage and wide-angle.I'm interested in both old and new photographic techniques. I own and use a medium format camera and have completed a course in large format photography. Additionally, I collect vintage cameras and photographs.I like to produce cyanotypes and scanography images featuring flowers. To enhance my work, I occasionally use specialist software and apps. 

Photography is one of my hobbies. In recent years, I have completed two short courses by the Open University and The Royal Photographic Society: 'Digital Photography - Creating and Sharing Better Images' and 'Digital Photography - Discover Your Genre and Develop Your Style.'My images have been used to promote The National Trust on an electronic billboard, and my work has appeared in Fujifilm House of Photography in Covent Garden, London.They have also been featured by the following: Amateur Photographer, The Chronicle, The Darlington & Stockton Times, Digital Camera Magazine, Digital Camera World, The Eastern Daily Press, Gardeners' World, The Lancashire Times, The North Yorkshire Moors National Park Website, The Royal Photographic Society Nature Website, SheClicks Website, Suffolk Magazine, Woman's Weekly, Yahoo! News & The Yorkshire Times. I have produced written articles for a newspaper, as well as a photographic magazine.My images have won several competitions and I have been shortlisted for The British Wildlife Photography Awards twice.I sell some of my images on Getty/iStock and many have featured in advertising, news media and internet publications worldwide.
