About

For someone whose painting skills do not extend beyond occasionally painting my garden fence, photography has given me an amazing way to express my frustrated creative skills. Although my background is firmly rooted in science - I studied astrophysics at university - I've always appreciated and been interested in all aspects of art. Photography has given me the opportunity to express that in some small way.

So why specifically landscape photography, you may ask? Well, with landscape photography, you notice details, the play of light, the shift in clouds, the quiet scale of a hillside at dusk. You can combine being in nature with outside exercise. You start to see the world rather than just move through it. 

Living back in Devon, with the sea and moorland on my doorstep, my hobby of landscape photography has been a great source of inspiration and influence for me. My photos often reflect the shifting coastlines, the unpredictable seasons, and changing patterns in nature. 

That connection has also shaped my professional path and, more recently, these subtle but persistent signs have deepened my awareness of climate change—not as a distant concept, but as something unfolding in real time around us. Although semi-retired now,  I am pleased to be working closely with a company called Real World Visuals.
