Like the majority of nature photographers in this country (although not all publicise the fact) the reality is that other commercial work makes up a reasonable proportion of their workload, and I'm no different. Much of that work is still in the outdoor and animal related field having been commissioned last year to produce the annual calendar for Wrekin Housing Trust on the theme of the wildlife of Telford and Wrekin, for the last two years to produce the calendar for the Telford branch of the Guide Dogs for the Blind, one image from which went on to be used as a Christmas card for the national charity, am the official photographer for the Newport & District Agricultural Society and their annual show and have undertaken a number of project-based commissions for Shropshire Wildlife Trust.
Much of it though is not, and I am a regular photographer for the local Market Drayton and Newport Advertisers, work as the school photographer covering Staffordshire and Cheshire authorities for Subrisi, and work with a multitude of local businesses and PR companies on both people, product and PR type images, and have even ended up running some photographic workshops for one organisations PR department so they can improve the day to day snapping they undertake!
I'm quite comfortable standing up and talking to groups too as you might guess, so can also be found regularly providing illustrated talks on some aspect of wildlife and photography to local groups - WI, Wildlife Trust, Gardening Clubs and Photographic Societies have all asked me along and generally ask me back again, so if you'd like a wildlife related talk and slideshow for your group please contact me for the different talks I have or can create.
I also offer a pet photography service, and genuinely believe that spending the majority of my time photographing wildlife means that I'm more in tune with getting natural looking images - no studio stuff here, very much natural settings as you might expect, with the end results being very contemporary in their style. Again, contact me for the various packages and services I can offer.
Finally, as well as providing images to a wide variety of publications, I am a regular writer as well and illustrated articles of mine can very regularly be found in both local and national publications such as The Countryman, Country & Border Life, The Shropshire Magazine, Australia & New Zealand and Dogs Today. If you're involved in anything editorial and are looking for either images alone or a complete article then all the pictures on this site (and a multitude more besides) are available as high resolution Tiff files, and I'm regularly researching and generating fresh article subject material so just contact me if you've anything in mind or that you are after.
In essence if you have any broad photographic needs (including brochure design or maybe some project management involving images) then I'll certainly look to meet your requirements. Feel free to contact me, or give me a call on 01952 411436 to discuss what you're looking for.
