Well, what can I say?
In my day job I work in London as an Ice Sculptor. I love my work, and it's always a great conversation starter... "What do you do?"
As for my photography: I got given a digital camera for Christmas years ago. Since then I've been teaching myself how to use it, how to compose shots and generally how to produce images I like. I've even got some of them blown up and hung on my walls. It was then that friends, family, and (most vocally) girlfriend began making murmurings towards me selling my images - to someway profit from my passion. Initially I dismissed the idea. "I'm an amateur photographer, with amateur kit and an amateur eye!" I would tell them. But now I can simply put up with the nagging no more!! So, I looked through various mini-stock sites, and the community on Dreamstime really appealed to me. It seemed like there were a lot of people in my boat, and designers were buying their stuff, so hey, maybe someone will buy mine!

I hope you like what you see in my Portfolio!

Currently, just an ageing Fujifilm F650 6MP camera with 5x Optical Zoom. Hopefully I'll one day be able to afford an D-SLR!

I love scenery, I love anything colourful, and I love funky images!
