Bio
I have had a passion for the world of Circus from a very early age. When I was taken to Sir Robert Fossett's Circus as a surprise treat. I have collected Circus memorabilia for many years and since the early 1990's. I have developed a keen interest in Circus photography. For several years now I have written articles for the World's Fair weekly newspaper which also includes photographs of the performances. Circus photography can be challenging, due to often low lights and fast moving subjects, but that it's all the part of the attraction to try and capture the moment.
