How long have you been a photographer and how did you get into it?
Photography has been a hobby since my teens, but it became a passion in 1989 when I took unpaid leave, upon qualifying as a solicitor, to solo backpack around the world. I carried my first 35mm camera, a little Minolta compact, and the beautiful things I saw on my trip motivated me to start taking photography more seriously.
On my return, I spent my first pay cheque as a solicitor on my first SLR. I was really a happy snapper at that
