Quite a while back in the 19080s and 90s I was an editorial photographer covering portrait, documentary and travel work for the likes of The Observer, The Guardian, News International, Woman Magazine, Time Out and Times Educational Supplements. I have also worked on long term photographic contracts for The Nursing Times, The Museums Association and the Usher Gallery. During this period I also produced my own work which has been exhibited widely throughout the UK in group and one person shows.
At the end of the 90s the internet began to eat into the print media market – I could see what was coming! Noticing the slow creep and falling opportunities, I decided to leave London and move back to my home town, Lincoln. Fortunately I landed on my feet and spent 15 years managing the University of Lincoln’s online media and website from the Marketing Department.
Then, I retired early to rediscover my creative mojo and go back to photography on my own terms…
Current work
The Three Wise Monkeys
This selfie triptych restored my creative mojo, it having been bred out of me whilst studying documentary photography a long time ago. I picked up where I left off, having completed a portrait of my friend Colin before going to Newport College..
Haiku
I have been dabbling with adding text to the images in the form of poetry. Yes, me, poetry, hahaha!
