Biography 

Born in Bristol England I moved to South Wales in the 1980’s and have lived there ever since. I first got into photography in the 1970’s while I was in the Royal Navy and decided that I must record some of my travels to the many countries that we were visiting around the world. My first camera was a very up to date Russian Zenith E with its built in light meter making it a cheap but reliable camera. I spent many years recording my travel around the world finally going digital in 1998 with a Fuji 3.3 mega pixel camera.  A  Canon 30 D was purchased in 2007 and from then on I began to become very serious about my photography.

I joined a camera club in 2010 and with the clubs help I started to see photographs in a different way  although landscapes still formed a prominant part of photography I started going to Re-enactments and in 2013 while at an English Heritage meeting. I came across the Thomas family from Somerset who had just formed a new group called the Ragged Victorians. I was fascinated  by the way these two adults dressed attention and their attention to detail, the blackning of their teeth with their filthy and worn clothing, so much I started to follow them around the country and thus they and the rest of their group have become very firm friends of mine. I also became interested in many of their friends in other groups and decided to photograph and portray all these people.

I am now in my  9th year of re-enactor photography, and have become quite well known around the re-enactors events in Southern England. Although much of my photography has been with the Ragged Victorians I have met so many other amazing  re-enactors around the country,that  I am now in the position to offer extremely good personal portrait images in print on canvas and digital. 

I am now involved in professionally photographing these people
