My interest in photography was first stirred when my dad bought me a Polaroid camera when I was about 6. The films were so expensive I had to think carefully when posing my very tolerant cat for the purpose.

Still, my two greatest loves are animals and photography. In my later years, I have been privileged to combine these passions by travelling to see some beautiful animals in their natural environments. I love to learn about animals, their personalities, drives and behaviours in order to improve my photography.

For me, a photograph that I’m pleased with is one that takes me straight back to the emotion of that moment of sheer joy at seeing that subject.
