My passion for photography has been with me for as long as I can remember but i've not had the opportunity to explore the possibilities until recently. I photograph many things in many different styles as I like to bring out the creativity in me.Photography should be fun for everyone. I feel that my strength lies in being able to relate & interact with my subjects in a way that is relaxed, natural & enjoyable. I hope you enjoy viewing the images as much as I have enjoyed taking them.

"Wayne has been such a wonderful friend to me since I started flickr over one year ago. His photography is so great and so creative. He has so much fabulous talent. I think Wayne is probably one of the best photographers on flickr!! His works inspire me to do better, to learn more and if one day, I can become just half as good as my dear friend is with his photography, then I know I can really call myself a good photographer.
Wayne has always been there for me. I noticed right away he was a Canon man:) And, when I first wrote to him to ask him for some advice....he responded quickly and so very friendly. From that day on I have called this man my dear friend. He to this day, is someone I can ask for help and he is right there to help in any way he can. I cannot stress enough what a sweet person, caring, loving family man he is. Thank you Wayne, for being my friend, and for being such a wonderful person!!!! It is people like you that make flickr so great. I am your biggest fan!!!! Hugs."9th July, 2009

"When I first came to flickr it had been years since I had picked up a camera,a LOT had changed over the years-I Fell in love with one of Wayne's shots-NIGHT OF THE LONG FAIRIES-one of my very
Favorites of his(amongst many)so I got my nerve up to ask him for
help-he couldn't have been more Gracious-he never made me feel
Like I had asked a dumb question about anything-he was always there
With a kind word or encouragement-no matter how busy he was he always got back to me when I needed help-even the most minor thing-
So besides being probably the most Talented photographer I know(no offense flickerites) he is also one of the kindest,gentlest people I have ever had the pleasure of having-as my friend. Thank you Wayne-you are the BEST :)"18th June, 2009

"I've been a contact of Wayne's for quite a while and this testimonial is long overdue. His photos are always interesting - always trying something different - and his sociability shines through, both in his interaction with the Flickr community and also with his family, who are often involved in the subject matter of his photos. I bet he's a brilliant dad to have! I can imagine he's a great photographer to have for your wedding or studio shoot, as I'm sure he would put you at your ease and soon have you laughing!"

Anyone wanting to venture into landscape photography look no further , Waynes eye for a classic shot and fantastic post work make him one of the best around.
On top of all this Wayne is a top bloke who is always wanting to help out if he can.
Thanks for been a good friend mate ;-)"13th April, 2009

"This testimonial is long overdue. Wayne has been one of my favourite contacts on Flickr for a while now!
His work is inspiring, and every photograph is beautifully composed, definitely a photostream not to miss! Many a time I think “I wish I took that..."
Congratulations on such amazing photographs, and I wish you every success in the future with your photography business.

"I think I’m better at taking pictures than I am at sharing my thoughts in writing (at leas I hope!)…but I just wanted to say that in my relatively short time here at flickr, Wayne has been a great friend and an inspiration. His talent is nothing short of amazing and his comments are always in the genuine spirit of camaraderie. Oh and he has a great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your wonderful images and all your support Wayne!"
