Short biog
A few years ago, life circumstances suddenly gave me sufficient time and money (both at the same time - a rarity!) to escape the world of IT and follow a lifelong dream to go travelling.

On my return I didn't know what I wanted to do next - other than not return to an indoor office job!

After playing around with various art forms (including ceramics) eventually realised that my lifelong enjoyment of photography and the outdoor world could be combined and might even make sufficient money to fund such passions.

So I went to college and got my HND, and then Chiz the pro photographer came into existence and hasn't looked back (except to enjoy the view!) since.
