À PROPOS
BIOGRAPHY
I discovered photography at the age of 12 after I received a chemistry set for Christmas. I used some old 6 x 9 negatives I found at my grandmother’s house and made my first cyanotype. I then decided to take my own photographs using my parents camera. When I was 16, during my holidays, I worked in a factory for 2 months and bought my first reflex camera which was a Zenith E with a 50mm Helios lens. On leaving school I bought my first Nikon. I have continued to use this make of camera to the present day. I have completed a 12 weeks course in Photography at the 'Centre Jean Verdier 'in Paris. I then met a Still-life photographer who worked in a large studio in Paris using a Sinar 8 x 10 . I seized every opportunity to assist him, an experience I found both highly enjoyable and extremely instructive.
