Last time I mentioned that I had done a photo-shoot up in Norfolk at Cley nature reserve, run by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Cley is one of my favourite places to go bird-watching and just to be in general. Although my main objective that day was not with the wildlife, but the wonderful landscape that stretches as far as you can see down the coast. We were up in Norfolk in April, which for anyone into birding would know is a fantastic time to be there because the bird migrati

Still from the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch advert. I think it's fair to say that my 2019 didn't get off to the best start! I was very poorly and in hospital over Christmas and New Year with pneumonia, which was no fun at all! I have thankfully fully recovered, but unfortunately I have now been put in a new life changing situation! Apologies if this is too frank for some people! Unfortunately my disability, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, means I have progressive muscle weakness t

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

Here's the next installment of my Norfolk photography project as promised! The whole experience has been really inspiring and has helped to open up new possibilities! My second photo-shoot on the Broads presented different challenges and conditions from the first shoot. On the whole the lighting was a lot better to work with then last time, providing much clearer skies. This really set off the late September colours beautifully! However, with very bright weather keeping a goo

Over the summer, I enjoyed a great week away in Norfolk at the bungalow we have there. We (me and my family that is) got up to lots stuff like bird watching and just generally relaxing, but it was also a great opportunity to do some photography! Last year we went on a boat trip round the Norfolk Broads, which was great fun! However, this was no ordinary boat as it is fully accessible for wheelchair users with the possibility of six chairs using the boat at one time! The boat

A few weeks ago I thoroughly enjoyed being back at one of my favourite places to take photographs, Wisley gardens. I had not done a proper outdoor shoot for a while so it was great to get my camera out and have a play. Particularly as I haven’t had much of a chance to use my new camera very much, but more on that in a bit. It can be surprising how much thought has to go into a photo-shoot sometimes. On this particular occasion I actually had to go twice in one week! I planned

This video was filmed and produced by Aneal Appadoo As part of my recent exhibition I was interviewed about my inspiration for my photography and talked a bit more about myself. Along with the interview this video was shown, which was filmed and put together by Aneal Appadoo, the curate of the church I go to. My faith makes a big difference in my life and helps me put things into perspective! This is not a sermon, it is simply my take on life. #photography #wheelchair #perspe

For anyone who knows me well you would know that I have always struggled to start projects. In all honesty I have probably been through every possible procrastination tactic in the book. To be fair some of those were genuinely useful, or so I kept telling myself. However, in the end you have to face up to the fact that you have to start somewhere and with a bit of a shove in the right direction from parties who will remain nameless (she’s called a mother) I’m finally making a
