Self-employed in photography specialising in portraits, design, theatre, corporate, digital art, weddings and children
General
I work for several children's nurseries in Dorking and have undertaken corporate work for the local council. This includes photographs of Dorking and the surrounding areas which were used in their publications.
I have covered Housing Association meetings and produced portraits of members of the council boards. Events I have covered include Dorking Gala Night and The Heritage Days to use in their brochures.
Theatre
For the past four years I have been photographing theatre productions for BROS, DDOS and recently NEMCOM theatre groups. I have been involved in poster designs, pre-show promotion photography, some on location. I also provide the reviewers photographs to be used in the local papers. I have several productions coming up and a possible future tour with a theatre company.
Weddings
I have recently started photographing weddings and have had three last year all in different styles: registry, Asian and traditional. I attended the BIPP foundation course in weddings.
Achievements
I'm an active member of Dorking Camera Club and I currently run a website for them www.dorkingcameraclub.co.uk.
Two of my photographs have won trophies:
A theatre photograph entitle 'Chorus Line' won the SPA Herman Rothschild Trophy for highest scoring print in the club.
I also won best print (The Tanqurey Trophy). Last year a print entitled 'Candlelight' won The Walker Cup voted for by the public at Denbies Wine Estate Dorking.
The Amateur Stage Magazine has featured my photographs on the front cover and inside from a production by the BROS Theatre Company.
I am proficient in Photoshop and enjoy digital art and the restoration of old photographs.
