I am a degree level trained photographer with 25+ years experience in commercial photography and Graphic Design specialising in the New Build property sector. After 6th form, I trained as a graphic designer for 4 years. I then studied for an extra 18 months and specialised in photography to gain my BA(hons) degree. After graduating, I worked as a graphic designer and photographer in a video production company for two years. My career progression saw me working at a property marketing agency for nine years as a designer and in-house photographer, gaining invaluable experience in the new-build property industry, working on a vast array of projects for some major UK & International developers. I went freelance in 2009, continuing & developing the skills I had gained working as a designer and photographer. During the COVID pandemic, I decided that photography was my true passion and that it would be my primary focus moving forward. I am a bit of a geek when it comes to technology, and I have loved aviation from a young age, having flown model aircraft for over 25 years. I was hooked in 2014 when the DJI Phantom 2 drone was released, and I have owned and operated one kind or another ever since.
