This Is Me
I am a photographer based in Holmfirth, Yorkshire. I have been interested in photography from being a very young boy & I remember picking up my fathers little Kodak Instamatic with 126 cartridge film, when i was about 6 years old... remember them?..
Dad was not a great photographer, in fact most of the heads were cut off when we got the prints back from the lab... It must have become obvious to all that I had a passion (and I did not cut heads off) as I became the family photographer,unless they just did not want me in the photographs.
My interest continued throughout my childhood, teenage years and into adulthood with the cameras becoming increasingly more sophisticated and expensive.
I have taken many photographs over the years but my real passion is people, there is something quite magical about capturing a person in a photograph and being able to convey even the smallest essence of that person. needless to say my greatest photographic hero is Irvin Penn
"I myself have always stood in the awe of the camera. I recognize it for the instrument it is, part Stradivarius, part scalpel". - Irving Penn
