Here's one I did earlier ...
. .
.
I began taking photographs when I was in Paris aged sixteen and still at school, facinated with an alternative view of life far removed from the familiar. The bug of being a creative photographer started then and it’s never left me.
I have undertaken lots of travel photography since those days and continue to work in the fields of advertising photography, food photography, portrait photography and a wide range of general product photography. Most of my work today is shot using digital systems, producing image files up to 96Mb RGB, without any interpolation. A few clients still like me to work with film and I also scan my images with an Imacon scanner when working with 35mm Xpan format material or 6cm x 6cm rollfilm.
I had the fortune to be chosen as the photographer for a recipe book for ‘Thyme Restaurant’ of Sheffield a couple of years ago, after the owner and leading chef Richard Smith saw my portfolio of food photography. Since then I have undertaken the food photography for another recipe book on behalf of the owners of 'The Magpie Cafe' in Whitby, which is now on sale at W.H.Smith.
I am currently working on two other recipe books. One is for a top wine merchant and restaurateur, the other is my own book, based on the leading restaurants in Sheffield. Both will be published later this year, 2007.
As an early convert to digital photography, I taught myself the complexities of ‘Live Picture’, when ‘Photoshop’ was pushing out version 2 or 3 and cameras for digital photographers cost the earth.
I seem to remember that £17k was the asking price for a professional Kodak/Nikon slr, with a chip size of 2Gb. Now I've got this size camera free on my mobile phone, which was also free. Progress eh?.
Please feel free to contact me about any aspect of my work, especially if you are looking for a photographer for that next big assignment.
