Yes, I am a Yorkshireman. Born here, grew up here and remain here. Why would I leave such a diverse and beautiful landscape?
I've been a photographer for a long time. I've not always operated professionally and in the past 14 years I took a big break from it to focus on my IT career. Frankly, that was a mistake, but that's how we learn lessons in life.
I started out photographing family portraits and soon began photographing weddings. Via a client I then dabbled in dance show photography before the aforementioned 'break'.
It was dance that pulled me back into photography. All four of our daughters danced at a local school and it was through volunteering my time there as a photographer that I realised I wanted to hold that camera in my hand as often as I could and that photographing dancers was something that really interested me.
