Photography has been my keen interest going back to 1981 when, hitch-hiking around North America, I carried an instamatic 110 film camera and took hundreds of pictures of subjects that interested me, such as the cactus around the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

Having completed my first year diploma course from Whitechapel in general photography in 1989, I decided to specialize in portraits and fashion. Two further courses in still life and portraiture photography from the University of Westminister sent me well on my way towards understanding my chosen craft. I am Fulham Road-based, in London SW6.

I contributed pictures in the late 90s to the monthly internet newsletter Hotgossip, in the Celebrity, Fitness & Beauty section, edited by Sally Farmiloe. Both Sally’s and Hotgossip’s websites can be found HERE.

Cilla Black is a much welcome addition to my home portfolio, whom I photographed back in 2002, as she opened an exhibition of paintings at an art gallery in Camberwell.

I have had work published by the Daily Express, and the Daily Mail newspapers. In 2003, I contributed some digital images to an exhibition of photographs at Questors’ Theatre. In 2005 I began in-depth study of computer image-editing software. This study of Photoshop CS will be ongoing well into the future, as I am a strong believer that practice makes perfect! I also use CS extensively where required after studio-shoots.

Getting Sorted! Memoirs of a Rehabilitated Adventurer

John's book covers his lucky escape from multiple disability and all the help he received from his family, friends and charitable organizations, is yet to be published. Lai Kam's own recovery, and how they met, is a pacy section of this informative self-help manual, which has already been called a "good read".
