Biography

I am a photographer and architect based in the Merseyside and Cheshire area. Over the last 30 years or so, I have been very lucky to be able to travel to over 40 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and further afield into the Arctic circle, to the Geographic North Pole and to the remote Antarctic Continent, to capture landscape, wildlife, portrait and architectural images.

In addition to giving illustrated talks on these trips and tutoring on Travel and Wildlife Photography, my images and articles have been published in travel brochures, international websites and UK photographic journals and lifestyle magazines.

Wilderness Galleries

Visit my third and latest Antarctica gallery with images from my 2009 trip to on the Russian polar class icebreaker ‘Kapitan Khlebnikov’. Accompanied by three times EMMY and BAFTA award winner, BBC wildlife cameraman Doug Allan, our ship sailed through the Weddell Sea ice pack to James Ross Island where we were greeted by Emperor penguins and Crabeater seals. We then visited the Antarctic Peninsula and the Falklands.

Visit the Arctic gallery to see my wildlife and landscape images from a 2011 expedition on the Russian nuclear icebreaker, ’50 Years of Victory’, from Murmansk to the Geographic North Pole.

Finally, visit the Galapagos gallery to see my 2012 wildlife and landscapes from this unique, remote archipeligo in the Pacific.

Endorsements

Read feedback and endorsements of my work from pupils, teachers, key professionals and experts, including Tom Murphy, Liverpool sculptor; Doug Allan, Emmy and BAFTA award winning wildlife film maker; and Dr Jonathan Shackleton,  cousin of the legendary Antarctic explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton.
