I'm a professional freelance photographer based in Manchester, UK. I've been taking pictures since I was a child and progressed from film and darkroom printing through to totally digital output. I take nearly all types of photography including, documentary, landscape, urban, I specialize in musician portraits and do occasional weddings, family groups and commercial stuff. I contribute to a stock photo library, enter many national and international salon exhibitions. Over the last 3 years I have volunteered as chief and coordinating photographer for the Didsbury Arts Festival. Previously I contributed to the Chorlton Arts Festival.
