Thank you for your interest in my work. Supplying high quality pictures is very important to me as well trying to introduce awareness in the planet. The web site www.fromtheblue.co.uk, shows some of the current collection from the Myanmar, Southern Thailand, Southern India, Africa, The Andaman Islands, Egypt, Sudan, Mexico, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, and Sulawesi. Please email should you have any question or would like to see a image not shown on this site, once you have finished looking around. Please also follow the links to lastrefuge , Last Refuge hold a range of work not shown on this site. Just go to new photographers. I have also added two articles, which I hope you will find interesting. I am often asked which place I would want to go next or where I would like to see again? I am never sure how to answer, but I want to see more of this amazing planet with its incredible life..
Some fantastic new ways of displaying / finishing images. Please do contact me with any questions or to discuss your own preference with any print. I do supply work to order. However due to the size and nature of photographic material it is not possible to supply unframed photographic prints, I therefore now offer a range of other option. Prints start at £75.00. Signed Limited editions prints also have a letter about the picture. I do supply larger images as well as more than one print per frame. I am happy to also offer inkjet prints up to 1 meter wide. These are posted to you in a roll and can be sold as a print only, reducing the cost to you as well as giving you fuller control over the finished picture. I do not wish to supply goods that do not reflect the very best standard of finish and therefore I only use the best craft people to do the framing, printing etc. I understand that this can lead to a higher price but I have spent thousands getting the image and I would like you to enjoy it for as long as you want to. As each picture is done to order, I am able to make every reasonable effort to supply each to the client's own requirements. i.e. signed or not, title, as well as size. Please confirm price at time of order and as almost all are supplied to order, I ask that consideration be given to this, and please allow up to month for an order. I am happy to take requests for more urgent orders and of course will make every effort to help or answer any questions..
I have been diving and taking underwater photographs for a number of years. This has meant that I have been very lucky enough to travel to some of the remotest parts of the world. Sadly it is becoming apparent that the effects people have on the land extend to the sea and it is only with knowledge and education that this destruction can be controlled. I have been to Myanmar twice. From the moment you enter this country you have the feeling of going back in time. I'm not saying this is a backward country just that there is a whole different pace and set of priorities there. The unfortunate thing is that catching up with the western world is a high priority due to the assumed wealth and happiness. Items that we take for granted like fridges and plastic are entering Myanmar at an alarming rate, but as we are learning to our cost in the west, this progress comes with a high price. This is also very true of many other countries that I have been. I hope that maybe soon the reality of what is happening results in a change to this, but for may places I fear it is to late. If you want a information on some of the areas you maybe able to help, or just more information on some of the problems, please look at some of the people on twitter, you will find many people better qualified than me, www.twitter.co.uk. Divers or tourists rarely visit the Andaman Islands and therefore there are very few photographs of the area. This trip was undertaken as I have a passion for seeing and photographing places that are intact and reflect a part of the world, which remains in its own time. My aim is to build a large portfolio to convey the waters around the world. More recently I traveled back to the southern Red Sea. This has to be one of the most dived seas in the world. In the years that I have been diving, I have seen the decline in these waters; I am concerned for the long term. I question if my children will see these wonders when 80 percent of the world's reefs are in the worlds most populated areas. I started by taking photographs on land so when I started diving I wanted to take photographs underwater. I now try hard to do both as I feel it is as important to see the people and places in order to understand the underwater environment. I sell limited edition print, posters and cards through my own company, from the blue. My hope is to be able to spend more time, in more places, in more countries taking photographs. I want to be able show, or remind others of the beauty, as I truly believe that the growth in population, as well as pollution, is changing our planet. I am very happy to recommend companies that I have found to be useful and have offered a high level of professional service. Should you which to try any of these here are the links, lastrefuge A Commercial photographic library with very helpful people. Yes, I have work with them so I am going to say they are good.
