About

I see the potential for great photographic images everywhere.

“Photography has been a significant part of my life since my father introduced me to cameras, film developing and printing when I was young. I see the potential for great photographic images everywhere. The challenge is to transfer my enthusiasm for a subject to the viewer through the photographic process.”

Adrian lived in the UK until his early twenties then moved to Southern California for the next twenty years before settling in New Zealand in 2002.

“I have diverse interests. I studied horticulture and pursued a career in Arboriculture and still retain an affnity with trees and the landscape.
I took classes on photographic technique and visual arts. I have enjoyed uncountable hours with music and motorcycles. I keep up with the general science journals–the study of the natural world. We have had dogs and now just have a dog.”

Adrian lives with his partner, Joan, in the beautiful Whangarei Heads area of Northland New Zealand. They live on a large section surrounded by native bush and they maitain a small olive grove which produces several varieties of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
