I'm a digital producer, photographer and instructor. I take a lot of photographs and spend a great deal of time on processing. I'm an interventionist with my images and enjoy blending and manipulating the results. My first camera was an Olympus OM1, 35mm, fully-manual SLR in 1986. The pictures I took with it were terrible O_o and I dropped photography until I discovered digital on a trip to Vietnam in 2003. I bought a tiny Minolta Dimage compact in the airport on the way to Hanoi and was hooked. Again. From 2000 to 2012 I ran a digital media training company in Australia, specialising in the entire Adobe product range. I was a certified instructor in Photoshop and also taught Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat as well as photography, video and web design. I work freelance from my home in Wales and supplement my photography by running a web design and management business with a presence in Australia and the UK. I use a Nikon D700 to shoot, and process with Aperture, Nik Software's range of filters, and Photoshop.
