I am a London-based amateur photographer.Most of my work involves landscapes, wildlife, or urban scenes.I occasionally cover public events (demonstrations, sports) as a "citizen journalist" as time permits.
In 2011 I was shortlisted in the Outdoor Photographer of the Year competition, and in the Take-A-View Landscape Photographer of the Year competition.I was commended in the latter and published in the book "Landscape Photographer of the Year, Collection 5".At the time of writing I have reached the finals of the 2012 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
