About me

As I turned 30, I decided to take a career break and went traveling around the world on what was to be an amazing experience. At the time I owned a small hand held camera and ended up capturing what was to be an amazing adventure.

On my return from travelling I realised photography had become a real passion of mine so my next step was to buy more camera’s .

Motivation

After visiting 28 countries in 4 years, I decided I needed to find some other uses for my cool camera; so I went to college, got qualified and won an award. Since that day I have undertaken a range of bespoke courses and have now been part of a professional mentering programme for 2 years. This has lead to meeting some ace people who have taught me to do a little more than press the big button on my camera.

So I travelled, took lots of pictures, then travelled some more. Next came my family, and in 2012 and 2013 I was lucky enough to become a dad to two boys. Then instead of taking pictures of cool places I took pictures of my two cool boys (lots of pictures). It was at this stage that my fiancée Jo told me to go for it, so Everybody Smile Photography was created.

Charity Work

At Everybody Smile Photography we are passionate about making a difference and every year we plan on using photography to raise money for a charity. This year we are raising money for the special care baby unit in Warwick; this is close to our hearts as our little one spent some time on the unit.
