A Bit About Me - Chris

 Hi there, and a very warm welcome.

​

I am originally from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk but now so very lucky to be living in South Cumbria with my other (some say better?) half Kim & our cat Toffee, we are not that far from the beautiful Lake District National Park.

​

​

Stuff I like to do:

​

Love the Highlands, North West Coast of Scotland & the Islands of Mull & Skye.

​

Getting out & being ''outdoorsy'' around & on the Lakeland Fells (come sun or snow).

​

Riding my motorbike Tinkerbell (when the Cumbrian weather is being kind).

​

Generally chilling with Kim (who you might meet as she often assists me with photo shoots & did dance when she was a bit younger).

​

Oh & I like cake, any cake apart from that fruit cake stuff & the best dessert is Apple Crumble with lashings of Custard! 

​

​

The Photography Thing:

​

I started taking photographs around about 1982 when I was at school back in the days of film & darkrooms. I had no idea what I wanted to do in life until my Mum said 'You take some nice photographs, why don't you look into a career in Photography'. That was how and when my love of creating images really started.

As soon as I left school I went straight in to the photographic processing industry working in photo labs with some of these having photography businesses/studios attached to them.

​

I am self taught but I do have a City & Guilds module one qualification and I am also a registered member of The Guild of Photographers.
