creative, stylised and unique
My main photographic passions are street photography, landscapes and motorsport. I also like to explore different viewpoints in everyday situations and create images that challenge the normal perception of photography. In recent times I've been experimenting with photo editing applications to create unique interpretations of my images, I call this foto-art.

So, I've taken the bold decision to go back to a rangefinder camera system. My gear with hundreds of features and buttons to match, has been replaced with an older but in my view classic and simpler camera system, and the lenses are tiny by comparison. A slower, more considered approach is now required which hopefully will force me into a different creative mindset and will certainly reduce the number of images I take and therefore post-process; not a bad thing!

I have created blog page which will charter my first year's progress of this change; please click the image below and come back to see how I get on.

Creative, stylised and unique
I don't use any presets as I make the adjustments I feel produces the result I've imagined for that particular photograph; each image whilst following a certain style is individual and therefore unique.
Selective colour
I really like this concept as certain scenes lend themselves to be portrayed in the 'selective colour' style.

Photography isn't just about capturing an image
In post production I stylise the picture using various adjustments to exposure, contrast, dehaze and saturation, highlights and shadows, white and black points may also be adjusted along with a variety of vignette effects.
Feelings generate expression and creativeness
Photography allows me to express my feelings, thoughts, ideas and creativeness and transform these into my visual interpretation.
auto-art, another passion
I am a lover of cars and enjoy capturing the shape and design features and creating stylised images of these wonderful vehicles, both old and new.
For 2025 I have created a dedicated website for my auto-art images, the website also includes an option for you to have a personalised photo-shoot for your beloved pride and joy. Please click the image below for details 
Photography like art, is subjective
Other peoples opinions and interpretations are always welcomed and sometimes sought, however, the images I create are how I picture them and therefore If I'm satisfied with the result, I'm happy.
