A passionate photographer, he has travelled widely throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and America, capturing locales as diverse as the windswept St Kilda archipelago, Transylvania’s verdant woodlands, the vast plains of Siberia, and the thriving cityscapes of Budapest, Zurich, Prague, Cracow, San Francisco, Copenhagen, St Petersburg, Moscow, Ekaterinburg and Beijing to name but a few.
