I currently work full time as a forensic photographer and crime scene examiner with the Metropolitan Police and I am currently based at Wembley in London. I have been with the police in this role since 2004. Although I work with cameras all day in my forensic duties I don't get the chance to show my creative side, so my own work is my outlet. I can think of nothing better than getting paid for doing what I love, and that is most definitely photography.

My primary interest was as way to record my travelling (which is my other great love) and I became more and more interested in both landscapes and people photography and I have a selection of images from all over the world. I developed my skills over the years and became interested in other areas including portraiture, which give me a real sense of satisfaction to see the pleasure this brought to people. I have also used photography to capture my other hobby…eclipse chasing, and I have travelled all over the world from Australia to Zambia to experience this truly magical natural phenomenon and stand in the Moon’s shadow.

For most of my photographic journey I have used film cameras. My interest in photography began in 1985 when I got my first SLR camera, a basic Zenith, which is a Russian made camera and weighs a ton. I then progressed to more sophisticated Canon cameras, and I made the jump to Digital a few years ago, and haven’t looked back.
