I have had a love of photography since the age of about 5 when I spent my days posing my cat with books and glasses of wine using the polaroid camera my dad bought me in the 1960s.
In my late teens, I worked for a photographer taking pictures at gigs such as David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton but discovering that film used gelatine, I stopped taking photos until I was reintroduced to digital photography through work.
Writing life story books for looked after children, I began to take portraits and “collects” mainly but my first love is animals and nature. Having a stressful job, getting out into the countryside where there was no phone signal made me drift into landscape photography, which I still love but any chance to photograph animals is my passion.
