Firstly, I would like to thank Josh for inviting me to share my work, thoughts, and ideas about photography. We cannot discuss photography in isolation of our journey in photography and of course without reference to the many great photographers that have influenced and continue to inform and influence that journey.     When Josh and I first discussed writing for Lula I wasn’t confident that I could add any value to the already much-discussed topic of photography. Much has been published on equipment and how to and what to do but very little on why.    Below are just some of the questions I continue to ask myself and continue to debate with other serious photographe...

It’s been more than 20 years now since I founded www.explorelight.com and gave up my day job to immerse myself fully in my photography. My work has been published in various magazines including Photo Art International and Outdoor Photographer. I have also featured in numerous radio and TV celebrations of the work created by myself and my son Peter, European Professional Photographer of the Year 2013. As I reflect on almost a lifetime of making images and teaching others to find their voice in photography I realize that unique self-expression and authenticity are the ultimate goals in this great medium. The changes that have taken place in these past 10 years motivate me to share my journey and in so doing provide insights so that others can learn to find their voice in photography.
