Photography is my passion, so I’m free to capture any sort of image I like, but I still can’t decide which field I love best. Throughout the years, I have experimented with HDR, architecture, portraits, still life and ultra-macro. I cut my teeth using slide film and was even awarded Practical Photography’s Photographer of the Year in 1990. As digital dawned, my interest dwindled – the quality simply couldn’t match film – but as digital cameras caught up, I returned keener than ever.
