Then several years ago while still working as an engineer and software developer I decided that I really needed to use my camera for more than just holiday snaps and dabbling in landscapes. I started going out into London every weekend with my camera exploring. I soon learned that I loved two things; the people and the spaces...
Although I was quite shy, I started asking people in the street for portraits and loved how the images were a huge leap from what I'd been doing. I learned that I loved engaging with people and creating a portrait that made a connection with the subject...
On the other side I also loved the technical rigour of photographing buildings and spaces. Photography I could do mostly as solo work when I needed mental space as well.
