Born and bred in the Black Country Art and Photography came to me later on in my life. Having spent most of my time behind a desk, creating successful images has become my passion. Being out there in nature, seeing things afresh has opened up a new and exciting chapter for me. I am inspired by my surroundings and never leave home without my camera. My passion is to create beautiful images.

Street photography is experiencing a resurgence in popularity where clever compositions, bold colours and deep shadows provide eye-catching scenes waiting to be captured. It was during the bright summer months, when the light tends to be too harsh for landscapes, that I started to 'dabble' in Street Photography. I was pretty much instantly hooked. Nowadays I regularly write for magazines or provide talks on the subject.

Dave is an award winning photographer, and this presentation on street photography is sure to inspire us to try more of this genre of photography.

Patagonia in Winter. If, like me, you find summer landscape photography in the UK less than inspiring then there is always the option to chase winter and head south. Patagonia is a dream destination with steppes, mountains and glaciers to discover. My talk explores locations and wildlife on the Argentinian side of Patagonia and includes an AVI of the El Chalten region which includes the mighty Fitz Roy Massif. I provide information that would help any adventurous traveller to consider a self guided trip. Winter has weather challenges, but in my experience it is ideal if you like pristine landscapes all to yourself and enjoy wildlife as well an landscape photography and is far easier than you may think.

Up to four projected pictorial images per member.

All entries from the set subjects of the season are adjudicated by a PAGB judge.
