Since 2003 I have lived on the Greek island of Symi in the Dodecanese where I love to create photographic images of the people, the scenery and the amazing light of the Aegean. Symi Art is my website.
Originally from Leicester in England I have become an internationally active Graphic Designer and was fortunate enough to win the International Visual Communications Award in 2003.
I studied at the Leicester School of Print and at De Montfort University, where I took a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration. Photography was an integral part of both the diploma and the degree courses, and it was then that I grew to love the medium, and appreciate the concept of photography as ‘painting with light’.
I worked for a year as a support lecturer at De Montfort before moving into the corporate field for six years. In 2003 I decided to go freelance and moved with my partner to Symi, our favourite place in Greece. Inspired by the dramatic and ever changing light I have found that photography has been taking up an increasing part of my free time.
Examples of my photographic work have appeared in the following publications:
Awards:
Exhibitions:
I displayed a collection of my photographs online in 2013. This portfolio of photographs of Symi together with quotations of famous photographers, were brought together to form the ‘Visit Greece‘ campaign. It was designed to display the remarkable beauty of Symi and Greece as a whole, and was featured on the social media platforms of the web.
