Owner at Shooting Stars Photography Limited

At present I am working as a Sports Photographer. Over the past few years I have also cut on teeth on Wedding and Commercial photography but Sports are where my passion lies.
Previously I worked full time in a product development environment with a special interest in messaging technologies and user interface design (a role still very close to my heart).
