I am a designer by profession with formal training in Graphic and Applied Arts and Visual Communications. I have always hired a professional photographer to work on my projects but just over a year ago I started doing some of it myself, mostly to be able to experiment and try things a little less normal at my own expense. I have learned a lot from other photographers on the net and I am still learning and fine tuning my style. I suspect I'll be doing that until I'm called to do something else.
