I left school at 16.
Awaiting exam results, I applied for a 'fill in' job, applying for interview at a local photographers, Walter Gardiner Photography - one of the south's leading commercial studios, and was offered my first full time employment.
.....I stayed with them for over 24 years!
Working my way up, I learnt all aspects and processes within a busy commercial studio, winning awards along the way, for both my hand printing and photography, gaining - ILFORD Photographer of the Year - 1992
I have run my own commercial studio since 2000, and also provide classic studio portraits, - model portfolio shoots and relaxed, natural light, location portrait shoots.

I seldom use filters, either on camera or in post production, preferring to apply my photographic hand printing skills & techniques to my digital images.
For interest, I have included the What3Words locations on many of my listings, so that you can see exactly where they were taken.
I hope you like my personal collection of images.
