Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I live in the North East of England and have been a photographer for over 20 years. I initially became interested in photography to capture the memories of each location I visit. I loved the pictures that Joe Cornish took and wanted to take similar pictures but with my own twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I never formally studied photography. I am self-taught using research, trial and error with some help from my great friend David Bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a shot of Buttermere. I was over the moon with it, a flat surface on a dull day. Looking back, the picture was awful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I currently use a Nikon D750, Kase filter system, Formatt Hitech filters, Nikon 50mm, Nikon 24-120mm, Irix 15mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. What do you hope to achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope to achieve improvements on my photography and new ways of taking pictures, pushing the envelope outside of my comfort zone and trying new branches of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q6. What compliment inspired\/touched you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not good with reacting to compliments, being too much of a self-critic but I had a picture printed and framed to go over my mantelpiece. I had to pick it up at lunchtime and have it in the office prior to taking it home. A colleague exclaimed how much they loved the picture and whether they could buy it from me. I sold it within hours of picking it up so had to arrange another print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q7. What inspires your unique storytelling?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What inspires me is being with nature, being in the wild, away from mobile phones, mortgages, phone calls etc. Forgetting about the woes of modern life and remembering the good times, especially with my pal who is no longer with me. We would spend ages trying to get the perfect shot but the weather was never on our side &#8211; it was a running joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renewable Survival l 2022<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to shoot a sunrise at a local offshore wind farm.
