I am a photographer with distinctions from the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS), the Photographic Society of America (EPSA) and the International Federation of Photographic Art (EFIAP). The EFIAP and EPSA distinctions were awarded on the basis of having nearly 1000 images accepted for exhibitions in 35 different countries in the world. My photography is largely based around my passion for the natural world and I have been fortunate to have travelled widely thoughout my adult life to provide me with unique opportunities to capture my images. My photographs have received numerous international gold medals and commendation ribbons and my photographic prints are in private collections in the UK, Europe and the USA. I lecture widely to camera clubs across the Northern Counties Photographic Federation of Great Britain, for which I am a recognised competition judge, as well as judging for international competitions.
