ABOUT ME
In 2008 I travelled to Asia after what felt like a life time of saving. Its on this trip that my love for photography was brought out.
My first memory of having any interest in photography was in my early teens when I visited a photographers dark room and I spotted a picture that summered such a reaction from me that I remember it now, 25 years later. It was simply of a paper bag floating through an industrial urban street, mid air with autumn leaves blowing either side of it. I remember looking at it and been fixated on it, how can such a simple image make me go inside my own head and vision a story, I didn't know then that it was because the photographer shot it to tell a story.
Interestingly, some 20 years later when talking with Aunt and cousin (who is a professional filmmaker) we discovered both our biological grandad was a keen photographer and not only that, but our great grandfather was the chairman of the Halifax Photography solicalty in the early 1900's. Something that took us all by surprise and something Im learning more about as I delve into the archives.
Anyway, back to the story Fast forward 10 years or so from that cold dark room, I am stood on a wet and dark Chinese street in a small town outside the Huangdshan mountains. As I looked down the street a plastic bag curled upwards in the wind together with some red and colourful bits of paper and in that moment it brought back those memories of photography. The excitement of capturing or creating images that you see in your mind and sharing them with the world.
Add to the fact we were travelling around the world for 2 years looking at all the most beautiful sights and you now have a man obsessed with photography.
Ever since I have learnt what is needed to be a photographer by working with fellow professionals, taking courses with famous photographers and most importantly built up a portfolio of work with different clients, from wedding days to product and commercial shots. All of which have allowed me to be apart of more than 50 weddings which has been a privilege.
Now in my mid 40's and more financially stable with a small family I have allow for up-to 10 weddings per year to be booked for wedding photography, simply because I love it. This allows me to really dive into your day, spend the time editing each photo, writing a blog and overall, just giving your photos the extra attention you deserve. That means you can expect amazing high quality images that tell the story of your day.
