biography

My interest in photography began as a boy growing up in England. Later, in 1967, after having trained as a physicist, I began research work for a PhD in the innovative field of computer graphics. In 1971 this work led me to form a company specializing in staging major international conferences and exhibitions in computer and communications technology.

I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time and the company became very successful. In 1987 the business was sold on the UK Stock Exchange, by which time it had over 120 staff and offices in London, New York and Singapore. I decided to take early retirement, obtained a helicopter pilot licence and emigrated to Australia to pursue my passion for wilderness photography.

In Sydney I met Carolyn, a graphic artist, and for over 20 years we have made regular helicopter trips to the most remote and unknown wilderness areas of the Australian continent.

My first solo photographic exhibition was in Darwin in 2007. Since then I have held over a dozen solo shows, including one in the National Library in Canberra, which was attended by over 30,000 people. Examples of my work are also represented in collections in Australia, England, the USA, Canada, France and Germany.
