Bio

From apprentice to journeyman. Photography, my passion …. indeed for many years. Starting at art school and then with an apprenticeship as a lithographic artist for 5 years and graduating into pre press in the printing industry including design through to plate making prior to press room. Photography in one form or another has been an essential part of my working life, from large gallery plate camera to studio session photography, it has been a very enjoyable experience. Throughout the years I have personally progressed from Agima to Canon with Praktica and Fujicolor along the way, learning the techniques and in many cases developing my own b/w films. Mastering the art of dark room masking plus dodging and burning in dish developer resulting in brown finger ends which my mother thought was nicotine stain! Very little health and safety then I’m afraid with caustic developers and toxic inflammable chemicals in daily use. Happy days!
