About Me

Professional, Amateur, Photographer.

I think thats the best way to describe my photography level and talent. 
I have always enjoyed taking photos when I was younger. As I got older I stopped and for a while the only photos that I took were at work of the displays and windows that I created or ones that inspired me.

Then by chance I found an old Polaroid 600, and I started shooting. 
The only down side to using Polaroid is the cost, £18 for 8 photos is a pricey hobby.

So I turned to my mum and asked if I could borrow her Olympus Trip 35, And the  journey began.

I now have a stash of colour and black and white film in the fridge (two of which are out of date).

I manly do street photography, and nature, but it is mostly just me taking photos of what I think might work. 

I do get a little anxious and self conscious when I'm out taking photos. Which I think can be seen in some of them, looking back at them now. 

Like all hobbys and skills they develop over time and practice which I can see but not as much as I hoped to see. 

I restarted using 35mm film back in 2015, its only been four years and it is not as though I'm taking photos ever day, so my improved skills don't show as much. 

I have decide to start sharing some of my photos here with the world it will be a mix of my 35mm photos, digital, and polaroid.


Please be gentle with your comments and enjoy. xx
