Last time I wrote that I was trying to think about what to do next and in answer to that I have recently done several photo-shoots, mainly of my garden and one up in Norfolk at Cley nature reserve. I have also started collecting images for an exciting exhibition I'm entering at my church Holy Trinity Redhill. I've done three shoots in my garden in short bursts partly to capture the best lighting and to get my eye in again. The first of these I focused on the cherry blossom an

Well I can't believe that the exhibition has already been and gone! Overall the event was a big success and I'm so grateful to everyone who came to support me! My thanks also goes to Holy Trinity Redhill for hosting the exhibition and everyone who helped to make it all possible! It was fantastic to hear such a positive response and receive so many lovely comments about my new work! In case your wondering though, all my old work is still available so don't panic! Anyway here's

My latest exhibition is fast approaching and with a week to go the final preparations are well underway! I do hope you can make it on Saturday 29th with 62 new images on show, light refreshments and prints, cards, cushions and bags on sale! Perfect for a spot of early Christmas shopping! I thought in this post I would also take some time answering one of the questions I frequently get asked, "how do you take the photos in the first place?" Well hopefully I can provide some an

As I wrote about in my last post, we have recently redone the garden with the addition of a wildlife pond amongst other exciting new areas! As I had hoped this has provided lots of great new photo opportunities, which I have started to make the most of with a few photo-shoots over the last week or so. I have to say it was really difficult to know where to start with the garden as there's so many great new things to photograph! It's like a pick and mix! I think in those situat

A very belated happy new year!! Well I can safely say that 2018 has started off very busy and I think promises to be a really exciting time! I had a good time in Norfolk over Christmas and New Year despite of coming down with a cold, but never mind! Since then most of my time has been spent finishing my work for the charity Waveney Stardust as I mentioned in my last blog post. It has been a great project to work on and it was very satisfying to see everything come together (M

Last week (Thursday 23rd Feb) I was invited to speak at Bletchingley Horticultural Society's regular meeting, to gave a talk on garden photography. It was quite nerve racking as I'm not very experienced at giving talks to large groups of people. To go with the talk I also brought along a small exhibition of my work so people could see what I'm about. This also helped emphasize some of the points I brought up in the talk and allowed everyone to see (I hope) that I do know the

Firstly a happy new year to you! (If a little late!) I hope you had a great festive period! I thought I would take this opportunity to look back at 2016, which turned out to be a great year! Then also a chance to look forward to a new year. At the beginning of last year if you had told me how well some the events I took part in would go I wouldn't have believed you! Starting out in photography has to be one of the most nerve racking things I've ever done! I am so grateful for

The exhibition this weekend was a huge success and I'm so grateful to all who came along to support me! A big thank you also to all those who helped out to make the event possible! I particularly enjoyed catching up with people I hadn't seen for ages!
