Tell us about yourself and what you do…
I’m a former teacher and relative latecomer to photography. I did a landscape photography course in Slovenia when I lived there for a few years. This developed into a love of capturing people and candid moments. I started out doing ‘favours’ for friends who wanted events covered and found myself shooting my daughter’s dance workshops or my son’s football matches. I gradually turned this to my advantage and now work as a freelance event photographer covering events from local festivals to corporate conferences, dance studio photography and theatre performances. I’m also the co-founder of PhotoHound (photohound.co), a travel photography app to help find and get to the best photo spots.
