Hi, here are a few of my favorite personal images.
I have been carrying my cameras around the world photographing women for too
many years, for me to say I have not enjoyed it. As a professional photographer I
have photographed somewhere in the region of four to five thousand models.
Practically this must translate into millions of negatives and transparencies, unfortunately due to a fire in the mid 8Os most of my early work was destroyed. I moved back to the UK, and took up residency in Camden North London in June 1999.
At that time my outlook on Photography took on a quite dramatic change. It was then
that I got my first computer, a little Orange iMac. and my first copy of Photoshop 5 .

It was at this time, that I became far more aware of how far images can be manipulated and enhanced with the
help of a computer. I know that now days this process is looked upon as the norm, as most photographers but not
all, will use a computer to handle their digital images. Manipulating camera images is not at all a new idea,
in fact photographers have always in someway or other been able to manipulated the camera image.
Either in the camera with the use of lens or filters, or with the use of the enlarger when printing.
I remember a job I had back in the late 6Os using dye transfers, now they were something quite special .
I now find I am able to produce images, which if shot conventionally would cost four or five times as much to set
up and shoot. The idea for an image can start from almost anything. And once started I find the image will take on it's own life.

I hope you enjoy the images as much as I did making them.
