Publications and Competitions

Publications where some of my photos have been used and competitions where my images have had some success.


During the 1980’s and 90’s I was very interested in growing orchids and won many photo competitions run by the Orchid Society of Great Britain and the Scottish Orchid Society. Some of these photos were used in my book Orchids are Easy which was published by The Guild of Master Craftsmen in 2000.
