I’ve won awards. Been there. Done that. Got the T shirt.

After winning a few shiny things –
I decided to simply concentrate on producing decent quality images for my customers.

If you aren’t happy unless a photographer has won some awards,
I’ve listed below some of the trophies and shiny things that I’ve won.

Eventually I became bored with going for awards.

Entering competitions became a bit repetitive – it was very nice to get the applause,
but my heart is really in making images – not in seeking trophies and medals.

Fuji awards 2011,  my images reached the top ten in the U.K.
