I started taking photography seriously about 20 years ago and have used Pentax, Nikon and now both Sony (A7r5 & A6000 as an IR camera) plus Olympus (OM1 & OM5).
My favourite lenses are the Laowa 12/2.8 (with adapter as 17/4 shift), Loxia 21mm, Voigtlander 35/1.7 and the M43 lenses: Olympus 12-40/2.8, Laowa 6mm f2, Laowa 10mm f2, Oly 25/1.2 Pro, Oly 45/1.2 Pro and Oly 40-150/2.8.

I come from the UK but have lived in Belgium, Netherlands, France, Nigeria, Austria, Bosnia, Hong Kong and, for the past 28 years, in Shanghai, China.

I'm 65 yrs old and retired (apart from photo sales). Spending most of my time planning trips and processing photos ! I'm currently working on updating my website which will display my work (landscapes, travel, street, people, culture, birds) and my travel blog and opening a shop on Etsy for my work.

This year I traveled to : China (Jingdezhen, Wangxian, Jiangling, Xiaoqi, Xidi, Lucun, Hongcun, Huangling, Chengkan & Pingshan. Ratings on my IG and Blog), Portugal (many locations), Istanbul, Cappadocia, Cornwall, Devon, North Wales and London.

Next Year we are undecided but planning on at least : Tibet (around Xmas - it's better then, it's far warmer than people imagine and the tourists have gone) ! Xinjiang (April), Europe again (Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, UK).
Always looking for collaborators or to meet up with other photographers in any proposed locations.

My daughter (who runs a luxury hotel agency) has been pressuring me to get on social media, so I have dived into this bright new world ! It would be great if you were to follow me on Instagram (thedragonsfather) - thanks !
