| Introduction | Me, I'm a father and a photographer. I hope I have passion for many things. I spent many years as a Nurse working with children but became disillusioned and feared burn-out. Due to special support and love from Louise we were fortunate enough to be in a position to relocate (via Louise's career) to wonderful Dumfries and Galloway. Where for the last few years we've managed to raise our family, boys Alex aged three and Joe aged a few months. After a rather varied career journey I have now ended up doing something I love - photography. Despite being colour-blind and with no formal training or qualifications I have been fortunate enough to develop my business and open my own Gallery. I am proud of my achievements and look forward to a few more successes along the way. I truly acknowledge the support of loved ones, family and friends who have assisted in my journey to date - thank you |
