Career path
When did you start out in your current photo genres?
I started taking photographs at the age of seven so photography has always been present in my life. After working as a studio assistant, studio photographer, student and computer analyst, I became a part-time freelancer after the birth of my first child so that I could spend time with her. I am a keen, if inept, gardener myself, so specialising in plants and gardens was a natural step.
What challenges did you face as a startup, and how did you overcome these?
It was difficult to break into the editorial market completely cold. I knew no one at all. After a few brick walls, I found the solution was to write accompanying copy for my images. Apparently, I wasn't too bad at this and it led to a steady stream of editorial work nationally and internationally, and also a monthly garden feature, which I wrote and photographed for 20 years for our county magazine.
