Since childhood, my father had instilled in me a deep sense of adventure and curiosity by his own travels in far away destinations and exotic lands that were all but unknown before the age of mass produced tourism. His stories of the people of Africa, adventures in the Far East, Central & South America would be a major influence on the person I would become.
With over 25 years experience as a photography guide and instructor, my passion for photography and unique tours continues.
Around the time my brother was on a 4 month expedition climbing Mount Everest, my father would take me on countless sailing trips around the Mediterranean with our little yacht, which enforced my love of the sea and the great unknown. At the age of 17, while travelling in the Far East, my career in photography began – giving photographic diving tours off the coast of Thailand with the wonderful Nikonos underwater camera system.
