Having only picked up a camera at the age of 39 Dave quickly made up for lost time in his quest to capture the beauty of the British Isles. Mostly self-taught with the help of a library of books, magazines, and a web-based diploma programme his work has now been recognised in several national and international competitions including category wins in the prestigious Landscape Photographer of the Year, International Garden Photographer of the Year, and British Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

Initially concentrating on the British countryside, he has more recently spent an increasing amount of time in the city where he now also shoots street photography and the urban landscape.

Now, 10 years on he is a regular contributor to photography and outdoor pursuit magazines, accepts private commissions for images, and provides talks to regional camera clubs.
