Biography
I am a photographer and long time Toronto resident, originally from Liverpool in the UK.
A while after leaving school many years ago, I saved enough money to buy my first camera, a Nikon FM. That gave me the drive to explore my surroundings even more than I had by then, and with a more deliberate eye. This was at the very early stages of Liverpool’s long journey of regeneration from a city in decline. I took pictures of the Albert Dock in 1981, which still showed the ravages of World War 2 bombing campaigns, as it was finally set for the redevelopment that’s turned it into the tourist hub it is today. This was my world.
There’s a lot to be seen in the world around us, both in the detail and the bigger picture, whether it’s right here now, or far away. There’s always a story to be told, whether you’re looking at flourishing green fields or old abandoned buildings. These are thoughts that influence my approach to how I make images. Photography is my preferred medium and I have honed my skills in this area more seriously over recent years.
I specialize in creative photography, with an emphasis on landscapes. These can be urban, rural, familiar and not so familiar, and anything in between.
