I am John
Hi there!
I am a photographer with more than thirty years experience.
I got my first camera, a Kodak 110, for my 16 birthday from my Grandma, I was instantly hooked on photography.
In my early 20's I saved up and bought my first 35mm camera, a Zenit TTL and took my city and guilds in photography.
I then saved up for a Canon 35mm and set up my own darkroom, I then worked for 2 years in a professional photo lab can much experience in the technical side of photography.
I then worked as a freelance photographer with up and coming models and doing the occasional wedding.
In 1997 I bought my first Mac & Photoshop and it completely changed my world.
I took my NVQ's in Photoshop & design and spent the next14 years working in digital imagery, video and photography.
After taking a break due to moving country and starting a family, I returned to photography during the pandemic as this was the first time I had time to do something other than the business I ran with my partner.
I have invested all my spare time and money in a new studio set up new cameras, lenses and all the other stuff you don't realise you need till you haven't got it.
After 10 years of running a successful personal training business I am returning to being a full time photographer.
