Everything You Need To Know about me.
Before you start reading this - this bits long - well, I’ve done a lot of things!  If you just want to get to the nitti gritti bit click on the links and move on!

I’ve been in the photographic business for 40 years but have moved with the times and led the way for many in the digital change over. My years as a press photographer, including being one of only three civilian photographers sent with the task force during the Falklands War, kept me looking for quick solutions to many problems and being self employed since 1987 has helped me concentrate on making profits rather than turnover.  I won the Fashion and Glamour Photographer of the Year award presented in 2006 at the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) convention.

Whether you are a hobbyist, serious amateur wanting to move into professional work or professional photographer needing mentoring to get up the ladder a couple of rungs have a look at my One on One training for 2009.  It’s guaranteed to increase your knowledge, sharpen your skills and inject you with enthusiasm.
 
Why bother trying to reinvent the wheel? Why not use my knowledge when trying to avoid the pitfalls of running a modern digital photographic business? Whether it be marketing/business advice and ideas or simply sound advice about what equipment to buy for a new studio, my advice, gained from years of experience, could literally save/make you thousands of pounds.

Do you want to get into large event photography? I can advise you on the best and most cost effective equipment you will need and how to run an event effectively to ensure the highest possible profit margin.  In 2002 I was the photographic manager for the NEC Birmingham event and company director in what was the largest event to sell photography held in the UK (Santa’s Kingdom) with over 50 photographers employed on 3 sites capable of taking and printing 7200 images per day for almost a 2 month period. It’s this sort of experience that I can bring to your business.

Contact me now and find out how I can help - from digital software to general day to day running a diary, setting up studio lighting to Ink jet or Dye sub event printing and everything else in between - Yes, including icc profiling!

I started as an Image consultant about 10 years ago although didn’t start charging for it until someone else said I should. I needed that push to get me going and I really do believe that most people just need that push! I want to now share some of the knowledge I have gained with others to enable them to enjoy the same sort of success.

I know that photography can be a lonely business and many people just struggle on, doing the things they have always done and not quite doing the right things in the right order so that they become successful. Yes, they make a living but loose quality of life. I can help you get back that quality of life by pointing you in the right direction - if you don’t believe me just contact some of the people I’ve already helped and see what they have to say.

Be it impartial  business advice, software technique or lighting or anything else to do with imaging for clients just get in touch.

I am a Fellow of the Master Photographer’s Association and the chairman of the Yorkshire region and also a director of the company.  I strongly believe in associating with the right sort of people and how that helps ones business and can’t recommend strongly enough to people who are starting out or even already successful in the photographic world.  I was awarded a Presidential award for services to the Association in October 2007.

By associating with other like minded people you can both learn and teach and thus creating a better understanding of business and customers.

Who said “No man is an island”? Well it was John Donne but I’m not sure what else he wrote!! I’m not even sure if he was a member of an association but I totally agree with what he said!
