Anyone can pick a camera up and become a photographer. You don't need training, you don't need fancy equipment, you don't need letters after your name with lots of affiliations to elite groups - all of those things are good to have but that is not necessary to become a great photographer.

It's all in the 'eye'. It is all about how you see the subject, the world and their universe.  It is how you make that person feel when they see the results. It is making that girl with no self-esteem actually like a photograph you have taken of her,  she then likes her self image because you have shown her the inner beauty.

I am that girl. The girl who hides behind the camera, bit like Bresson really. I like his style, his ability to capture life as it happened in real life, in real time … its how I like to capture the world.

I was trained with a manual SLR camera by a lovely old man called Arthur Woods when I was about 8 or 9 years old.  Arthur said I was snap happy then and not much as changed now!  I will easily snap 700+ images at a wedding, every little moment, and every little detail from as many angles as I can manage.  I was talked out of following my dream of photography when I was 16, told I should do 'admin work' at college. Roll on a decade and I bought a Fuji Finepix S602zoom excellent camera and taught myself digital. Then I went to college and fulfilled my dream of learning how to do it properly. It turned out that I already was doing it right. 

I particularly love black and white images. There is something wonderful about a world without colour, the simplicity of contrasts, the depth of feeling the picture portrays.

I love what I do. I love how I see the world. I love the smile on people's faces when they see how I have captured them....  words can paint a marvellous picture but a good photograph will take you there and stay in your heart always. 

Why chose me as your photographer? That's a decision you will have to make…. But I guarantee you will like what I see.
