I've been fascinated by Nature and Photography since my childhood years in Portugal. I started my photography journey in the days of film, some three decades ago, when I used to borrow my father’s camera, a reliable Nikon SLR. I loved the simplicity of the mechanics and also miss the light weight of the camera body!
My favourite photographic genres are Nature and Monochrome. I am mystified by the secret world of insects and their habitats and have developed a strong interest in macro photography. I am also passionate about conservation and a firm believer that we all have a critical role to play in the preservation of our wonderful planet.
I live in Foxton, a beautiful village in Cambridgeshire.
I am an active member of two fantastic clubs, the Melbourn & District Photo Club and the Cambridge Camera Club.
I am a member of the Royal Photographic Society, having been awarded their Licentiateship (LRPS) in 2019 and Associateship (ARPS) in 2021. I have also received a Credit (CPAGB) from the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain in 2022, their Distinction (DPAGB) in 2023 and have been selected a C Panel judge in the same year (andreneves@eaf.org.uk).
Hope you enjoy my work.
