This is my first blog (very scary) and I thought that I would take the opportunity of saying hello fellow bloggers and introduce myself

I am a Photographer and Digital Artist based in the North West of the U.K.  and  have been very fortunate to have gained  numerous awards including Gold Medals at International level for my photographic work and I am an Associate Of The Royal Photographic Society.

Okay,  so that’s all of the sensible stuff over ……. My passions are  (apart from my family) travel and photography which thankfully feed off each other.  I am known ( if I am known) for my creative images and  I  very much enjoy blurring the boundaries of conventional painting and photography and to that end many of my images have a definite painterly feel.   I have to admit that, like lots of other creative image producers, my hard drive (and numerous other external hard drives) are full of random pictures which will be used in a montage somewhere in the near future – I live in hope !  I am, through this website, planning to show you how I go about putting these images together  so that you might be encouraged to have a go yourself  (the more creatives the merrier I say).

I really enjoy helping others to push their own personal boundaries and provide tutorials and workshops in Creative Photoshop and Fine Art Nude Photography to small groups or on a one to one basis – you will be able to find out more about these tutorials and workshops on this site as time goes by

This website will enable me to share my photographic and travelling experiences with you…. assuming you are interested !  We can share the journey together and I would love to hear from you if you have comments to make about my photographic musings.  You will also be able to see when my workshops and tutorials are scheduled and also  purchase prints, photoshop brushes and textures – but all in good time  I am just starting out – and belive me I have much to learn in this wonderful world of blogging – please be patient with me 🙂

I hope you enjoy the journey …. So take a  deep breath….. Off we go !
