Rendezvous In Rhodes

It was a mild April evening on Ialysos Beach Rhodes. I’d been here for the week with friends enjoying Easter on the island and of course, shooting a few images.

Close to our hotel was this pontoon on the beach and I decided it might make an interesting focal point within the beautiful coastal view across the Aegean Sea to Turkey.

Headland Hotel Newquay

A week before Christmas I received a call to see if I was able to do a shoot in Cornwall.

Interview “Things I Wished I’d Known”

I’ve been fortunate to have been featured in a fair few photographic magazines over the years and the odd podcast.

Terry Hope is a name that is well-known in the photography press as a writer, editor, and book author.

I first met Terry in the mid-2000 on a car testing track when he interviewed me about my car photography at that time.

I photographed Jane at her home close to Exmoor one early morning back in May 2022. Jane was introduced to me by Cat Mills the Silversmith I photographed for the project.

A Graceful Entry At Kardamena

It was another early start in Kos.

Unusually for me, I had no real plan of what I was going to shoot despite my best efforts in researching.I did however know the dawn was going to be clear and some great light would be present.
