About

Welcome to my website. I live in Bradford, West Yorkshire and have returned to photography after many years of following my other passions: running, climbing and cycling.
Sadly my cycling career was curtailed by a serious illness (cancer) and photography is a way of staying in touch with a sport I'm very passionate about.

My main focus is on outdoor sports, particuarly cycling and my local time trial and road race scene. However I hope to branch out and cover other events, such as Equestrian and Athletics. In fact I'll try my hand at almost anything, so if you'd like me to come along and photograph your event or function, please get in touch. Also if any clubs or organisations would like free images for use on their websites, please contact me. All I ask is that you credit me with the photographs and link back to my website.

I'm also becoming increasingly involved in landscape photography and have put together collections of my images for charity calendars and postcards. I also offer them as large prints, including mounted on canvas.
Portraiture too has been added to my portfolio and I'm available for sessions in your own home or on location with my own mobile studio. Please contact me to discuss your requirements and for a quote.

I shoot exclusively with professional Nikon equipment and have just added the new D3 to my collection with the excellent D300 as my second body. Please have a good look around my gallery and see the quality of my images for yourself. I'm a cyclist myself and feel this gives me a head start in my event photography.
