Hello. I am a photographer based near Cardiff, in South Wales. Much of my work consists of natural imagery, sometimes with an eye for quirky details. I'm interested in the way natural patterns recur in different forms and are moulded by the requirements of their situations - feathers and ferns, branching trees and river systems, whirlpools and spiral shells. An ongoing project is the photographing of megalithic sites, mostly in South and Mid Wales. A good incentive for a walk - once located the stones await you, old and massive, very much themselves, linked inextricably by time and design with their surroundings.     I use digital capture for my photos, and work in both colour and monochrome. I hope you enjoy my images and I would be interested in any comments you may have. Prints are available at reasonable prices. Please email me for details.
