What started with a passion to capture garden birds in all their splendour moved swiftly on to taking photos with increasing care for composition, lighting, framing, focusing, planning and selecting a suitable subject. Images hold and convey so much emotional power that, when taken well, will provoke a reaction from the viewer.

I have always known that people enjoy photos of themselves, but it is only through taking portraits and the discussions I have had with my subjects that I realised the importance a quality portrait can hold. The significance for that individual, how they are seen, how they wish to be remembered and how they wish to represent their own energy can be set in a way they are both happy and comfortable with.
