About and News
Hello and thanks for taking the time to visit my site.
I describe myself as a self-taught photographer, I prefer to use my own experiences to develop my own 'style'. I have been trying to capture images for many
years - both in and out of wakefulness!
Prior to launching my photographic career I spent many
years as a Mental Health Nurse working
with children and families, I also spent a number of years working in
Engineering in my hometown of Barrow-in-Furness (ever wondered why those
nuclear subs keep breaking down!)
I live near Castle Douglas in the Stewartry of
Kirkcudbrightshire with Louise and our precious little boys Alex and Joe - after
spending many years in both London and Manchester it certainly is terrific to be
out in the country.
My main photographic interests are the great outdoors. We are blessed here in Dumfries
and Galloway to have access to fantastic flora and fauna, archaeology, hills,
lochs and mountains, seascapes and terrific walking opportunities.
In spite of my colour-blindness I try to convey the rich
colours of the natural world and capture the fine art opportunities that are
all around us.
I use Canon equipment and a Canon EOS camera and love
them, a temperamental Manfroto tripod, Photoshop software and various other
bits and pieces (the technical side of photography remains a tedious necessity
and isn't my strength - for me the moment is everything!)
I do hope you enjoy the images on display on the site and
would encourage you to contact me with any queries or requests that you may have.
Regards
Phil
