About

I have spent most of my working life as a Bodyguard or in todays circles a Close Protection Operative or CPO. I was also doing Investigational work involving Surveillance and from that I had a want and need to further my photographic skills and like most people in this world I woke up one day and realised I had in fact spent the last 22 years doing totally wrong job. In April 2008 I became a father and in September 2008 a full-time father to a beautiful baby girl, Hana Rose, who is the light of my life, I gave up working for people who really did not need looking after and finally used my skills for someone who actually needs me, she has become my model and from day one knows when Daddy has the camera she loves to pose when she feels like it, you know the score, a woman's perogative!!! I am a very easy going guy who loves to work hard and am not afraid to get dirty if the need be. I currently own and use the following equipment: Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR Camera Body Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens Canon 430ex Speedlite Slik PRO 700DX Tripod Photoshop CS4 Photoshop Elements 8 27ins iMac Elinchrom D-lite 2 twin head studio lighting system plus backdrops, 5 in 1 reflector and the ability to be portable so have kept it to the point as I have yet to set up a proper studio, but all in good time. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. Take care Dave.
