Specialist Photographer for :-
Wedding photography
Portrait photography

Type business: Semi Professional Photographer

My photographic style: Images involving people - Reportage candid & informal

My greatest strengths: Responding to what s there people doing something interesting, light or weather changing, seeing interesting shapes, colours and forms in everyday situations and locations

I have been in photography: As hobby and second string many years; serious amateur and now semi-professional 4 years

How I got started in photography: By developing and using photos in my work (use of visual images in publicity, learning aids etc) and becoming more interested in doing hobby photography well (family photos, travel etc)

My photographic skills: Good eye for possible images and for composition (have always been interested in art transfer of understanding from that); willing to experiment, learn what gets results from trial and error; practical and quick once I have got the hang of equipment

My personality: Energetic, determined, put in 110%, self-critical, get on with people

Geographic areas I cover: West Midlands for commissions; UK & abroad for landscape, wildlife, travel images

Venues I frequently attend: Outdoors wild and designed/landscaped; old and new buildings with architectural interest and/atmosphere; home, work & familiar environments for portraits

I found inspiration from: Photographers like Jane Bown, Eve Arnold, John Hedgecoe. Also inspired by many artists from most eras: e.g. Giotto, Michelangelo, Hogarth, Rembrandt, Turner, Rodin, Van Gogh, Renoir, El Greco, Goya, Toulouse-Lautrec, Lowry, Klee, Gaudi. In everyday life, I admire and like photographing people who enjoy and take a pride in doing, working, creating.

Success in photography: Picture of Lotus flower used on Buddhist book cover (Author David Brazier); Winning entry in Photo competition run by Holiday Cottages & Holiday Villas Magazine June 2008

Photographic training: NCFE Certificate in Creative Craft (Photography) at Matthew Boulton College (Birmingham); attendance at Experience Seminars, workshops and photoshoots (training for Canon EOS camera owners) 2008-2010

My interests outside photography: Walking, travel, gardening, art, architecture, history, DIY

Testimonials: Lovely pictures, some of which I have printed on my laser printer. It's a commercial machine so the results are excellent. .. Really appreciate what you have done . Peter Combellack, Pastor, Ebenezer Mission Hall.

The pictures (Christmas party) are quite extraordinary ; your marvellous ability to get such good portraits with a little help from modern computer technology. Father John Carlyle, St Vincents Church Nechells

Hi Hester, I've put some of the photos you took at the wedding on 8th April on the RUFF and Tumble website.' Mic Spenceley, leader of Ruff and Tumble Ceilidh band 27.4.06

Why I like the SWPP: Opportunities for learning more in specific areas of photography where I would like to be able to take consistently good photos

Tagline: Images that recall, evoke and stimulate the mind and senses

Future plans: to develop a service for people wanting wedding, portrait and event photography which is outstanding and distinctive and still available to all income groups

And finally: I am hoping to develop my skills further in other areas of photography too landscape, wildlife and photoart , even if this generates little or no income.
