About
Leaving work is a wonderful opportunity to do what you want. For me that was photography, photography and photography!
After gaining a diploma in photography I focussed on a number of themes including dance, places, and people through the ages.
For the last seven years I have been the resident photographer at Festival Quartiers Danses in Montreal. I have been able to photograph some wonderful and inspirational performing arts with the opportunity to get close up and capture the movements and emotions of the performances. There is an outdoor exhibition of my dance photography in Atwater Market in Montreal in summer 2019.
In 2014 I developed a photo documentary project about how people I know have changed since I first met them using old and new photographs as well as interviews. The project was called “Without the Past the Future is Formless” and was exhibited at Lauderdale House. I’ve exhibited work at various locations in north London.
I’ve always loved to travel and photography has enabled me to document my travels focussing on the unusual and the stunning.
I am proud to say that one of my photographs was chosen for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2019. It is called “Natures Wonder”from a series of photographs taken on a trip to Tromso in Norway in January 2018 where I was lucky enough to experience the wondrous Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights.
