About Me

I'm a commercial photographer in Leicester, England
.."font-size: 10px;" -- longer bio

I do the photography because I enjoy it - I'll put some photos on this site that are not in the gallery on my web site. For those that asked - and I couldn't reply (!) these pics are taken using a Canon 1Ds

I've had lots of jobs over the years - geologist, underwater engineer, electronics designer, usability researcher and strategic business consultant, but this is where my passion lays :-)

You can have a look at some of my landscape pictures .)

Or some of my commercial work .)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other photographers!

Interesting people in Leicester!

Interesting people all over the world!

People to inspire my photography

I should also add... any photographers able to make something that looks good within the severe constrictions of MySpace ;-)
