I am a long-time amateur photographer born in Northern Ireland where I grew up and was educated. I started to make photographs at the age of 14 thanks to a physics teacher who taught us how to work in the darkroom. Photography has been my passion ever since. I lived for 14 years in England and then for20 years in Scotland, I have now been living (and photographing) in Cournanel for the last 8 years.

 

I like to wander with my camera and sometimes, if I am lucky and if I am patient and if I look and listen carefully, something will speak to me. It might be some detail beside the path, a sparkle on the water or the way the light falls on stone - and it will say "excuse me, I want to be photographed". The photographs I make are my response.

 

Our job is to record, each in his own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today.

I am proud to have been awarded the distinction “A.F.I.A.P.” (Artiste F.I.A.P.) by the Federation Internationale de l'Art Photographique (F.I.A.P.) in recognition of my work.
