Over 20 years ago now I picked up my first digital camera and haven’t looked back since. From those early days of point and shoot I’ve become engrossed in all forms of photography. Landscape and the natural world initially captured my imagination with an endless palette of inspiration in Cornwall, but as I have grown as a person and creatively I find myself enjoying all forms of photography.
I don’t find getting up at 4am in the summer as a chore to capture a sunrise, it’s something I look forward to. It’s moments like these that make me realise I have found the right passion in life. And when I’m not on the coast of Cornwall I’m never too far away from my camera shooting wildlife, still life, portraiture and more. Anything where I can ‘create’ an image I’m in the right place. I enjoy sharing my passion for photography and have been an active member and contributor to my local camera club for several years now.
Please feel free to wander this website. I have chosen a small selection of my work to display here, I hope you enjoy as much as I did making. If you have any specific needs or even want to book me for something you have in mind then please feel free to use the ‘contact’ button.
Hope you enjoy,
Ian
