Nowadays I live in Forster, New South Wales, Australia with my wife Mary, but am British and spent most of my life based in Folkestone, UK. I am a member of the British Society of Underwater Photographers (BSoUP) and enjoy up to 200 dives per annum worldwide.

I used to have no interest in diving whatsoever. However my late wife Eve did and in December 1994 I reluctantly joined her on a Try Dive. To my amazement I thoroughly enjoyed it and was soon assuring everyone that I had always wanted to dive.

Keen to capture memories of my underwater dives, I began shooting video but eventually became seduced by, in my opinion, the greater challenge of still photography. Some of the photographs on this website date back to when I first began diving. That is, images from March 1995 to November 2003 have been scanned from conventional film “snaps” or have simply been taken from analogue video stills. All photographs from December 2003 to May 2006 were taken with Olympus C5050 and C5060 compact cameras and from June 2006 with a Nikon D200 digital SLR.

I particularly enjoy photographing sharks and feel comfortable in their presence. With one exception. The Great White. I prefer to be in a cage when Great Whites are around!
