Knowledge & Understanding

Prior to becoming a photographer in 1998, I had studied Agriculutrural Sciences at Nottingham University. After graduating I worked as a management trainee for a diverse leisure company with interests in fast food, motoring and golf.

After three years I moved to a photographic studio. Five years later I re-entered the agricultural industry as a regional sales representative for a large plant breeding company, supplying the arable, pastoral and amenity sectors. I had a keen interest in and developed a number of conservation and wild bird cover mixtures which are widely used today.

Travelling as a salesman enabled me to create a library of images which I was soon selling to my customers for brochures and press articles.

Having left to set my own photography business in 1998 in Tetbury I was soon working for The Duchy of Cornwall covering all aspects of the estates and a number of the leading country magazines.

As well as photography, I am also a Director of Tidgrove Estate Ltd in Hampshire where we have undergone three decades of restorative ecology work of which I am now actively involved.
