My Aims

For some years now I have been creating photograph's and web site's for friends and charities, in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast area; so far everyone has been very pleased with the results.

When I found myself looking for work after having been a full time carer for over fifteen years I decided it was time to give all this a go on a business level.... and so I set up this site...

Although I do not claim to be a professional at either of the subjects above, but I do posses quite a lot of knowledge about both.

Web Sites

I aim to make all my sites W3C compliant, and in the future I am hoping to be able to build fully working e-commerce sites for on line businesses.

As you will see with this web site, I use Free CSS Template's when I build sites. I do this for two reasons - Firstly it's quicker than building one from scratch, and secondly, because it takes many, many hours to build a site like this, and that is money, I can build a site to meet a client's needs using one of these templates for a lot less than most web site designers charge.
The people who make the 'Free CSS Templates' allow you to alter their work to suit your needs and sometimes what I end up with looks nothing like the original template... an example of this is to look at my cousin's web site at Sophia Rose Healing. The original of this template can be seen here.

Photography

As time goes by I am going to be adding to the equipment I use when taking photograph's but for now I will be using two Nikon Camera's: a brand new D5100 and a quite old, but trusty D40.

Photoshop: I use this program in almost all my shots, the effects you can get are simply amazing and most people beg me to tell them how I have acheived the results I have.. sorry.. trade secret.. :)

Testimonials

Photographs

Chris worked tirelessly to make sure our wedding day was captured in a set of stunning photographs.

Chris contributed all his energy, inspiration and skill in preparing a full story board for the shots on the day. He took very careful note of all the various shots and details that we wanted and did some amazing post production special effects.
The day went wonderfully well and the results speak for themselves. Chris puts his heart and soul into everything he does and we can thoroughly recommend him.
Chris did our photo's for our wedding in august 2011.

He came to our house before the day and we discussed what shots we would like and also chris had some great ideas, we made a list of who we would like in our photo's and on the day chris did a superb job in getting everyone in the photo's.
The end result is what we wanted and now have a beautiful wedding photo album.
Friends and family commented on how Chris had edited some of the photo's and they had never seen anything like it...we were all very delighted at what Chris had achieved in doing this.
This is a testimonial about how Chris came to our wedding as a guest, but ended up taking some photos.
