Born in Portugal in 1981 and brought up there, I eventually moved to the UK to do my A-Levels at Peter Symonds College, Winchester. From there I completed a Bachelor of Photography and Web Design at Queensland College of Art, at Griffith University, Brisbane, so I am now a Profesional Photographer.

I
currently do freelance work when at home in Portugal but have a seasonal
job helping to manage a nature reserve in the Falkland Islands in the
south Atlantic. This is where the majority of my photographs are taken.
It is a fantastic place for photograph with great light, weather and scenery.
In the Falklands I spend the majority of my time on New Island. New Island
is situated in the far west of the Falklands, and has been set up as a
conservation area and nature reserve. You can find out more about New
Island Here
Scanning
method of film: The easiest, and most affordable way of getting good quality
prints out of this medium is using digital technology. I currently use
a Canon FS4000US colour film scanner, which has a maximum resolution of
4000dpi @ 42bit. This gives very good quality reproduction and prints
can be reproduced at a maximum size of A3 from 35mm film, and significantly
larger for medium format.
There are three choices of digital output from the printers I use: LED
output, SRP output, and 30" Chromira print output - the former being
the cheapest, and the latter being of the highest quality. There are 3
choices of paper surface with output on the Chromira printer: Gloss, Lustre
and Metallic - Gloss and Metallic produce a high colour saturation, high
quality print which is excellent for the landscape prints I produce.
If you are interested in purchasing a print, all of these formats of output
are available. Please contact me for size and pricing details
