THRU the LENS FOTOS

About me ........... Born in Sunderland, now live and work in Bristol

I can remember carrying a camera around with me from a very early age and have been taking pictures for as long as I can remember!

In the early 2000's, I stepped it up a few gears and photography became a passionate hobby of mine. In the last few years I have funded my own learning in order to enhance my skills and knowledge of photography and now feel confident in classing myself as an "amateur photographer". Since passing my foundation and advance photography courses, I have had a couple of my pictures published in the local paper as "picture of the day". I also entered a local competition in 2014 (24 Hours In Bristol) and my allocated hour to take my shots was 2am-3am one Sunday morning in Bristol. To my delight, I came 2nd in my hour slot, which meant my image was in the top 48 out of one thousand entries.

A combination of these experiences and my priceless new knowledge has given me the confidence to make my dream a reality. So, after a busy couple of years planning and creating, here I am, looking forward to sharing my quality mounted prints and blank cards with the world!

I would class myself as an impulsive photographer and I photograph lots of different subjects, but I particularly like landscapes, seascapes, waterfalls, animals, nature and architecture. However, if something looks interesting to me or I feel that I can make it look interesting I will take a shot of it anyway!

This is a very new venture for me and I have learned a lot on my journey to get to where I am now. I hope to be able to offer more services in the future as my business grows. Presently, my main aim is to sell quality mounted prints of various sizes and blank cards at affordable and competitive prices.

I am also going to pitch up at varied local events, markets, festivals etc in the Bristol and surrounding areas. Further down the line I also hope to be selling my stock online.
