Someone wrote "You can take the man out of Africa, but you can’t take Africa out of the man".
This is exactly what happened to me when I travelled to Africa for the first time in 1985. Some two years later, I had traded my career in tourism for the endless and spellbinding African savannas. Photography was a path that not only allowed me to follow my dreams, but also offered the freedom, and the means, to explore this great and majestic continent. Today, my work has taken me to the far-flung corners of Africa. The most memorable and rewarding of these being Namibia, with its rural and urban landscapes, its extraordinary wildlife, and its remarkable people.
Whilst my love affair with Africa is constantly being rekindled, other new photo destinations have been added in more recent years, including southern Morocco, Southwest USA, Cuba, and Spain, with emphasis on its southernmost province Andalusia. The ‘Andalucian’ photo collection highlights not only the colourful rural terrain and urban scenes of this vibrant area but also its people. This has become an inspiring focal point, indeed rivalling the Namibian collection in so far as size and image variety.
With the arrival of drone technology in the photographic world, the industry experienced vast transformations, which in turn created fresh and exciting new viewpoints to explore. For me, the old shackles of photography had been lifted, revealing a whole new world and I found myself exploring landscapes and panoramas from different perspectives, giving rise to innovative opportunities both now, and undoubtedly in the future.
