Background
Photography for me was just a weekend hobby prior to settling in Glastonbury near the end of 2015. Prior to this I was employed as an aerospace manufacturing engineer for 23 years in Northern Ireland where I was also raised. When my wife and I originally decided to relocate to the West Country it was with the intention of carrying on my career in the aerospace industry somewhere in the Bristol area. The reaction on social media to my first few photographs of Glastonbury and immediate requests for prints (from here and abroad) suddenly caused a rethink. Demand for my work has grown steadily since then and the privilege of working in such a creative, spiritual and inspirational part of the world that is Glastonbury has been a life changer for me, opening new doors to opportunities I never would have dreamed of before I moved here.
