I hope you enjoy the images I have chosen to exhibit. Some I have selected for picture quality, how an image can change by just using simple interchangeable frames grouped to depict a theme or tone of colour. Interior designers will tell you how colour/ light/ reflection/ movement and tranquillity can all affect our visual senses and therefore influence our moods. As I have always had a true exuberance for life I feel the need to have constant change and stimulation so this method of decorating my home is far more enjoyable and cost effective!

Other selections have been made from photographs that have now become a social photographic study. Candid moments in real situations, I look for interesting people who exude life in their work or leisure. Trendy! Flamboyant! Fascinating faces that tell a story. The buzz at the fishing port waiting for the days catch to come in. Fishing is not so much an occupation but more a way of life. Generations of father and sons join the brotherhood, maybe it’s this that gives a sense of responsibility, or is it mans passion for the hunt that drives these fishermen to work long hard hours and to face the dangers of the sea. I was fortunate to have been invited to join the boat “Cantal” out of Villajoyosa port (the oldest fishing port on the Costa Blanca) Thanks to Pedro Mauri Soler and Pepe (apparently his Valencian nickname) real name Jose Llianares Orozco Cantal’s engineer and skipper respectively, now my very special friends, they are such warm-hearted men I am humbled by their generosity, I hope if there is any interest in these photos I can contribute something towards making life onboard easier. to view >"Aboard Cantal"

Through the nature of social photography I may have taken shots of people without their knowledge, but would hope that they find being part of this study a compliment, it is my sole intention for it to be a celebration of the essence of life!
I spend a great deal of my time in Spain, where I can capture amazing light and colour the perfect recipe for good health and happiness. I hope that my photographs impart this to those who take the time to view them.

It is my aim to update this gallery regularly and to improve both the quality and technique.
