When and why did you take up photography?

I started photography about five years ago, taking after my grandad. The past two years I have really pushed my self to try and make it a career.

I felt like it was right for me as I loved being creative, I've never been good at drawing but creative in a way to capture a good photo.

What do you love about taking pictures?

The freedom you have with a camera and the fact you can take it anywhere and capture something every time.

Where is your favourite place to take pictures and why?

Manchester - it has so much to offer in street photography - is a great place to build confidence if you want to tap pictures of people and do portraits. I also love the sky, and exploring the stars.

What equipment do you use?

Cannon 90d, Dji fpv drone and Mavic air 2.

What do you enjoy about being part of the Leader Camera Club?

Friendly and helpful - seeing your picture in the paper helps everyone build up the portfolio.

If you could photograph anyone or any place who/what would it be?

Red squirrel, one of my favourite animals.
