I have been fascinated by nature and photography since I was a child. I started my photography journey in Portugal some three decades ago by borrowing my father’s reliable Nikon SLR. I enjoyed the simplicity of the mechanics – and sorely miss the light weight of the camera body!
I didn’t start taking my hobby seriously until about five years ago, when I joined the Melbourn & District Photographic Club, a very welcoming community that has been a great source of knowledge and inspiration. Over time, I have developed a strong interest in nature and macro photography, and have photographed a variety of species including butterflies, foxes and puffins.
