I’ve been fascinated by nature and photography since my childhood years in Portugal. I started my photography journey in the days of film, when I used to borrow my Dad’s camera - a reliable Nikon SLR. I loved the simplicity of the mechanics and also miss the light weight of the body and lenses!
My favourite photographic genre is Natural History. I am fascinated by the secret world of insects and their habitats and have developed a strong interest in closeup photography. I am also passionate about conservation and a firm believer that we all have a role to play in the preservation of our wonderful planet.
I am a proud and active member of the iconic Melbourn & District Photo Club. I am also a member of the illustrious Royal Photographic Society (RPS), having been awarded their Licentiateship in 2019 and Associateship in 2021. I have received a Credit from the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) in 2022 and their Distinction in 2023. I was a PAGB Club Photography Competition judge from 2023-2025. My work has received national and international recognition.
Thank you for visiting!
Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty,
if only we have the eyes to see them.
— John Ruskin
