After retiring from a long career in charity, I have finally got the time to spend on my photography. 

I have always enjoyed taking photographs of people, and even more so now that I have the time to indulge in the process of lighting, shooting and editing. And, of course, it is also a very sociable activity; hopefully the subjects on the other side of the camera enjoy it as much as I do.

Some of the portraits shown here were taken while participating in various photography courses at London's CityLit college; courses I would fully recommend!

Cityscape and wildlife photography, while not my main interest, are both enjoyable and challenge my meagre skills.
