Welcome to the fascinating world of wildlife.
My photographic interests began in the late 70s, and have always varied between scenics and four-legged creatures. For one reason or another, one will rarely find any two-legged captures in my portfolio.
After my first few visits to East Africa in the late 80s, I began to encourage my friends and acquaintances to experience the beauty of the African savannah and the vast amount of wildlife that has brought fame to that part of the world. ‘See it now before it disappears’ was my recommendation to those who may have expressed a life-long desire to witness wildlife in their natural habitat. I have been organizing group trips to East Africa ever since, and have established a comfortable working relationship with the camps and drivers there.
I have held a number of private exhibitions in the UK, many photos from which are shown here on this website.

I have been a Nikon user all of my photographic life, starting in the film days with a Nikkormat FS; and primarily use the following equipment:

This list obviously does not include any of the miscellaneous photographic ‘stuff’ that one accumulates to help with various
types of shoots.
