Photographic Speciality/Style:
I am an automotive studio photographer, but I travel a lot, so landscape photography is also a love of mine. I’m always trying to find new ways to shoot cars which is an ongoing passion.
Short Bio:
I live in the southeast of England with my wife, and I have worked for 30 years restoring classic cars. I am a selftaught photographer, and I have been working in an automotive studio for the last 6 years.
Tell us a bit about yourself and your story. I think it’s fair to say that you probably have race fuel running through your veins – where did your passion for cars come from?
My working life started out restoring classic cars and as my skills improved so did the cars I worked on, becoming a specialist in classic Ferraris. I worked as a fabricator for many years in the motor trade, which gave me a real appreciation and love for car design, from classic cars right up to the modern era. My passion for cars has never waned and I still go to many car shows with friends in my VW Splitscreen to talk with like minded people and to take the odd photo or two.
