About me
I have been taking photographs since August 2002, and it has changed my life. I’ve gone from a high paid engineering job to landscape photographer, with a little bit of managing a climbing shop in between. Not finding inspiration or happiness in my career as an engineer in the south of England I spiralled downwards into despair and depression. The turnaround came when I inherited some money from my grandfather, Burt Baker, a famous bee-keeper. In my state of gloom and pursuing a course of blatant consumerism, I wanted something new and shiny! A camera, something I didn’t have, something else to own.
Something odd happened when I received the camera though. A shift in my world view, a sense of place and serenity whilst out taking landscape pictures. And people liked my photographs, stopping to admire my work wherever it was displayed! A dead end, suddenly I had options, an opening. So through the door I went and here I am, with you, on the other side.
