Travel

Travel photography is a continuing enjoinment for me. I first started when I worked as a staff photographer for Colour Library International, a London based photo agency. They would send me off on assignments to capture scenes that were later published for many things, including adverts, books, magazines, posters and travel brochures.

Swan Lake

I have photographed a fair amount of theatre work, including plays and dance. Most of the time its captured during rehearsal, or performance. This photograph was taken backstage, which allowed me to use my own lighting, and then I created and added the background and foreground with photoshop, using one of my landscape photos.

Wildlife

Wildlife normally takes much planning and amazing patients, plus lots and lots of waiting time. I first heard the hawk before I saw it. It was circling above my house, so I rushed out with my ready-to-go camera, and in seconds I had got this shot. Luck and experience also works!

Portraiture

Lighting is a key factor in portrait photography, and by using a strong backlight in this photograph, I achieved the air of mystery that I was seeking. "Elementary, my dear Watson!"
