About Me...

 

My father introduced me to photography, and the darkroom, when I was about seven years old, and I've been producing pictures ever since.

I became actively involved in club photography in 1979, (as a member of Field End Photographic Society in Ruislip, Middlesex). I gained my Associateship of the RPS with traditional darkroom monochrome prints, and a Fellowship some years later with digital colour prints.  I now serve as Chair on the RPS Visual Art (Associate and Fellowship) panel, an assessor on the Landscape panel, provide advice at RPS distinction workshops, and undertake 1 to 1 Zoom appraisals too.

A busy national PAGB judge, and popular lecturer, I have visited more than 285 different camera clubs, and judged many regional, national and international exhibitions. (See the Judging & Lecturing page on this website).

I earnt a Distinction of the PAGB with colour transparencies, and was pleased to receive an APAGB award for my services to photography.  I have also had success and gained awards in international exhibitions while working towards my AFIAP and subsequent EFIAP distinctions.  I am pleased to be a member of the prestigious London Salon of Photography.

Now retired from working as an air traffic controller, I am a member of Amersham Photographic Society.
