I was born and educated in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, graduating from art school in the late 1970s with a BA in 3-D Design. I moved to London in 1980 to work as a systems programmer for Prestel – an early precursor of the internet. Subsequently, working as a graphic designer, design manager and brand manager in emerging new media. In 2002, I left corporate life behind to run my own web-based company. Ten years later, I sold my shareholding and left the company Leaving London in early 2013, I moved to the coast to concentrate on more creative endeavours and I now live in Whitstable.
Photography has been a life-long enthusiasm for me. Since the late 1970s I’ve carried a camera wherever i go. My passion is photographing landscape and recording its influence and impact on us. Our relationship with our environment is complex. We are shaped by it and we shape it. Our perception of landscape, our viewpoint, is constantly modified by the shifting balance between these influences and the aim of my photography is to encourage the viewer to contemplate this relationship.
