I am a Photographer now based on the Isle of Wight.
This image, which is part of a personal collection, was selected for RPS Advent countdown 2023.
I am a qualified RYA Yactmaster and Cruising Instructor.
Travel: I've always travelled a great deal and photography has been part of that. I photographed while travelling and I studied photography at college in the evenings back in Manchester. Sail: In 2005 I competed in a circumnavigating yacht race. I filmed onboard for a tv program that documented the race (that's where the image on this page is from). Photography: In 2007 I completed a photography master’s degree (MA in international photojournalism, documentary and travel photography) and then worked as a professional photographer in and around Manchester. Teach: I eventually left Manchester for London and then the south coast of the UK where I taught sailing, taught in secondary school and eventually moved back into engineering. Sail: I have spent the last few years travelling again (sailing with my family). Stories and photographs from our journey through the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic can be seen at www.sailingbella.uk . Isle of Wight: Now I am back at home on the Isle of Wight.
