Welcome to my website

I wanted to leave a record of my work, achievements and interactions with people and organisations over the last
23 years.

I started photography on a film camera back in 1981. Photography was a therapy even then, whenever I was off
duty. I was stationed at RAF St Mawgan at the time, so I had the beauty of Cornwall to explore through the lens,
as well as the various aircraft that came into the base.

I became a professional photographer in 2002 and have travelled to various countries in search of subjects to photograph but my passion has always been wildlife and scenery...but fast moving subjects are a great way to hone your skills for quick reactions.

I am also a poet and videographer. I was retired on ill-health in 2006 and continued my creative endeavours as therapeutic work (which means you can't make a profit). I have retired from commercial work now (2025) but I will continue to be a creative person as a form of theraphy. You can find out more via the menu on the right hand side of this page.

From 2015-2024 I ran the Disabled Artists' Network in Nottingham. The aim was to give artists with disabilities a chance to exhibit and gain a track record that could be used to make applications to arts bodies by the artists, in their own right, as well as promoting creativity as a coping mechanism for disability.

They eyes in my logo are of a Wolf that I got to know over a while. Her name is Lobo. She has passed to spirit now but she still has a presence in my life.

Owing to the use of AI and general farming of images off websites, I removed my image catalogues from here but have since decided to add some back as a celebration of my time as a professional photographer. Watch this space
for developments.  In the meantime, you can see some of my images on my Facebook page. 

If you have YouTube, please Subscribe to @wolfsvideos to watch my clips. I'm currently working on creating
a couple of small films and 3 new books,when energy allows, as a record of my work.
