Stockport, Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire UK
Professional Photography from a highly respected multi award-winning photographer.
I was the first, and to date, am still the only person in the UK who can call himself a Master Qualified European Photographer
I am based in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, Cheshire, which makes for easy access to Manchester, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Merseyside in the North West of England, UK.
I usually shoot on location, in and around Cheshire, but I also work nationally and internationally. I have been a professional photographer for over thirty years.
My portrait photography is aimed at the more discerning families, couples, and singles looking for something specially created for their lifestyles. Contemporary professional portrait photography is now more relaxed, moving away from traditional formal posing and repetitious backgrounds, to show real situations and capture natural expressions. I am particularly keen to be a part of an event, or a situation where people are being themselves, and I can use my photographic skills to record just how people are, whilst looking for good light and composition.
Formerly senior photographer and Managing Director of Manchester based Avalon Photography Limited, my commercial work has included still-life, people, food, and lifestyle photography, with many blue chip clients, design and advertising agencies in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and the rest of the UK.
As a wedding photographer, I seek to go with the flow of the day, looking for those brief interactions between people, capturing the mood rather than dictating it. My clients won't be bossed around and their guests kept waiting whilst the photographer takes over. The images will be shot digitally, and lovingly-prepared in colour or black and white, or a mixture of treatments in a high quality album as standard.
PR and Events
I like to create something different and eye-catching in my PR and corporate portrait photography, recognising the greater PR potential of images that catch the eye of a magazine editor.
Portfolios
I create portfolios for models and actors, and if your taste is for the unusual, creative, romantic or avant garde, then I am more than happy to work with you on a special photographic concept. Recent unusual projects have included underwater photography of mothers and babies, pregnancy and parenting, childbirth, and loving couples in tasteful intimacy.
I like to think that I can offer you the reassurance that using an experienced qualified professional photographer brings, but also the originality of an artist.
I hope you enjoy my website.
