Biography |
I set up my business in the summer of 2002, having previously been a manager for a large local utility company. I obtained an MBA at Cardiff Business School and, when the company ceased to exist, decided to take the plunge and turn my hitherto hobby into my profession. I now take on commission work, as well as tutoring and writing. Primarily I am a photographer but love the great outdoors and cover it through images and writing.

|
Main professional activities |
Most of my work is split between commissions for the Brecon Beacons National Park, local authorities, heritage organisations etc and tutoring outdoor photography for, amongst others, the BBNPA, Light&Land Photographic Holidays and local colleges. I also periodically have articles accepted by Outdoor Photography, France magazine and Country Quest magazine. |
