What inspires your own work?
Attention to detail and the desire to produce the highest quality
results have been the driving force behind his images, led
primarily by the quality of light and the mood rather than the
subject itself he has explored a variety of different genres. Still
with the same passion for the medium, he has in recent years, been
leading photographic workshops across the country, passing on his
knowledge of the medium.
