At the age of 16 I started making photographic greetings cards showing local scenes and sold them in nearby shops and have continued to do this wherever I have lived - now in sunny Shoreham by Sea.

This led to a long and varied photographic career starting with two assistant jobs whilst studying on a four year day release course in professional photography. I began freelancing as soon as possible and really enjoyed the challenges and variety that bought.

For 18 months I was lucky enough to travel the world by working as a cruise ship photographer and then went on a six month independent tour of all my favourite places. I took so many photo’s whilst travelling that I was able to set up a picture library to sell use of them on my return alongside more freelancing.

Next I worked for many construction companies taking progress and marketing photos which was perfect for me as I love being outdoors so much. After moving to Sussex I changed tack again and sold pictures to people motor racing at Goodwood and playing golf at many clubs.

Times changed and almost everyone else became a photographer so I hung up my camera and began to take more time to pursue my love for making, growing food on my plot and mending.
