Nature nominee

Leaves at the end of summer and into autumn revealing their beauty in decay. Photographed on film (Velvia 100) in 2019 in subdued daylight to encourage colour saturation. (Exposures of up to 150 seconds in my studio in Norfolk, UK).

My fascination with film photography began at the age of 10, and has burned ever more strongly throughout my life. In recent years my focus has been on images expressing beauty in decay - whether leaves or used shoes - and aiming for subtle colour saturation through long exposures in subdued daylight. Portfolios of my work have been published in photo magazines around the world, and my images are marketed by some of the world's leading photo libraries - notably as book covers. The 2020s have seen my images winning awards (including Gold) in major international competitions such as International Photography Awards (IPA) and Fine Art Photography Awards (FAPA). I have lived in Norfolk, UK, since 1985.
