I have been making photographs for a long time , Film days and wet darkroom days (a blacked out family bathroom for a while ) back in the eighties I first got hooked on photography when i saw the contrasty- moody black and white images of Bill Brandt . Black and white is still my preference although i dabble in colour now and then . Joining the R. P. S. back then, my goal was to make Fellowship, with the Society their highest disinction. It was a long journey but i finally made it .With a Panel of 20 prints printed on Canson Baryta Photographique 2. My personal favourite brand of fine art paper .I will have the successful Panel on this website soon .Have a look at the panel and the Statement of intent which is important to be read in conjunction with the panel (for all those who would like to have a go at achieving this distinction) I hope this Gallery is a help! . Michael Kenna is also a big influence on my work whom I had the pleasure of meeting at his home coming, exhibition in the UK a few years ago. I also do some international salons and have quite a few, Gold -Silver and Bronze medals to my credit for images in those salons . I am a firm believer in the print ! in a time when there was never as many pictures taken with phones etc , there is a very small percentage that make it onto paper , a print is the best way to archive any type of photography (no updates needed ). Think of all the family photos in old tattered boxes and albums in homes everywhere would they be still there to enjoy if not in print ! I think not .Photography is all about vision , so when someone takes the time to appreciate my vision in a photograph i have succeeded, if not then there is always another image to be found.
