He was born in Coventry and discovered photography during his national service within the RAF and is self taught. He photographed the people of Coventry ad it's post war reconstruction as a freelance photographer. He later became professor of photography at the university of derby, where he taught from 1970 - 2001.
I do feel more of a connection with British photographers, for obvious reasons, but more than that I like to recognise an image whether visually or geographically, this creates a connection allowing for inspiration to grow.
The image below is from the 'tulips', I like the depth of tone making the image look almost 3D.
