I am a professional broadcast video editor who takes pictures for pleasure. Most of my photography is informed by my interest in space, seeing the Earth as a planetary surface with its own unique character, including what we build on it. Therefore I like to shoot landscapes and buildings.

My interest in photography came from my father who was a rostrum cameraman in broadcasting and who trusted me with his first SLR. For me, the craft has blossomed with the advent of digital, allowing a freedom to take what is seen without fear of cost, and freedom to subtly adjust images so the artist's perception can be more accurately transmitted to the viewer.

I use a Canon EOS 5D DSLR. For images of the Moon and planets, I use a Meade 0.2-metre telescope with Philips webcam.
