Whatever the client wants?

I've been able to reach my goals and achieve the life I dreamed of as a child!

There is always somewhere/somehow to take the photographs.

I have always had a passion for capturing a moment in time, so you could remember exactly how you felt at that moment. I have been doing so since I was a kid. I got a 35mm SLR. Then I swapped that SLR for another kind of SLR by enlisting in the Royal Air Force. I was asked by my friend who was a disc jockey in a top Leeds night club “I need some promotional photos.” I took them. He liked them so much, he showed them to his friends, who were in the same business. They asked me to photograph them, and showed their friends, and so on. A girlfriend of one of the Disco manager’ asked me to take a model portfolio of her. She showed her friends… and so on. I was booked to photograph the local heat of Miss England, and they wanted photographs of themselves. I have met various personalities, and been allowed into places others aren’t. Professional equipment and proof of my talent brought more contacts and entry into a world I dreamed about as a kid.
