I'm 35 years old and currently live in Bournemouth, a sea-side resort on the south coast of England. I do Network support for a living, looking after the IT network in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region for one of the world's largest global banks. I currently hold the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification (CCNA) and am currently studying for the Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional certification (CCIP). Previous jobs of mine were to support MS Windows, Citrix Metaframe and Novell NetWare servers.

I like most types of photography but especially portraiture, glamour and nature photography. In regards to nature (and landscape) photography there is an abundance of countryside around me (Dorset) that I can take advantage of and I enjoy going out with my camera to the river Stour, The New Forest or Hengistbury Head. I also enjoy trips to Cornwall where the scenery is breathtaking. With regards to glamour photography I have had the experience of working with four professional models in studios here in Bournemouth as well as Southampton and Leicester. All were fun to work with and I gained a lot from these experiences, not only in obtaining better shots but a better understanding in working with models and creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in which to work in. For portraiture, I gained a lot of experience from portrait shots from the glamour models I've worked with. The biggest eye-opening portrait experience I have had though has to be when I photographed my friend's two children (ages about 4 and 6) at a local studio in Poole. The old saying about 'the hardest thing to do is work with children or animals' is very true but nonetheless I obtained some shots that my friends were extremely happy with and said looked like they had been done by a professional. You can see examples of my shoots in the people gallery.

As I've said, I'm only an amateur but I thoroughly enjoy photography and hope you can gain some pleasure from the shots I'm displaying on this site.

Other interests of mine are SCUBA diving, sailing, sci-fi/fantasy genres, movies, heavy metal, rock, dance music, classical music, fine wine and fine food, badminton and squash. I also have an interest in the fetish scene as well.
