I have become increasingly keen on architecture through photography. I enjoy holidays abroad and seeing many different architectural styles has inspired me.

I can offer everything from a portrait of your house to a study of your business premises which would make an impressive talking point in your foyer or boardroom. I am also in the process of creating a series of studies of landmarks, such as the picture of Chatsworth below.

I love architecture, especially, stone masonry. It is incredibly skilled and is three dimensional artwork adorning a building, showing real detail and lasting for hundreds of years. Sadly stone carving is a dying skill and it is unusual to see modern carvings of the same skill as those on many historic buildings.

I hope in my work, to express my admiration for trades such as stone masonry which are now under threat.
