Graham Taylor
Newcastle upon Tyne, United KingdomTrained as an Engineering Pattern Maker I built patterns for some of the worlds most recognisable structures. Varying from the Royal Yacht Britannia, to Disney theme parks, to the multi award winning Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
It was with this attention to detail critical to pattern making that first got me hooked on photography. In 2003 my passion for photography took over and I retrained as a photographer.
With skills in both traditional and digital photography it was post production which really captured my imagination, with digital imaging still in its infancy there is the potential to be a pioneer and develop new techniques.
With 10 years of almost daily use of Photoshop and other imaging software, I am equipped with the skills needed to produce almost anything imaginable, and look forward to the challenges that brings.
