About

I first got interested in photography while at college in 1982. Back then I tended to photograph anything and everything. I studied a one year City & Guilds course in Photography and passed with Credit. My step-daughter Victoria was interested in becoming a model, so I did a number of shoots with her. I then focused on model portfolio development, joined a number of model and photographer sites, where I adopted the name 'Xanda', and met some very talented people who greatly inspired me. After a break, I completed two more photography courses to improve my technical skills and joined the Royal Photographic Society. I'm currently working towards an RPS distinction.

In addition to being a photographer I'm also a writer, a full-time registered carer and director of a publishing company.
