Tejay Photography

I have been taking photographs for over forty years.  I took my first photograph on a Box Brownie aged six, and was instantly hooked.  At the age of eight my father finally gave in, and purchased a twin lens Russian 35mm camera for me, as a Christmas present, which I still have to this day.  My Grand Mother was house keeper to Mr Harold Keeble, who was fashion editor to a major tabloid newspaper.  Whilst visiting Mr Keeble’s flat, which I did on numerous occasions, I was introduced to Cecil Beaton.  Who explained to me about  photographic techniques, such as framing, lighting, correct exposure, film speed, and many other useful tips.  These meetings were to have a profound effect on my photography, and where I wanted to take it on a personal level.  In my twenties I became a professional photographer in the armed forces.

During this period I had work published in magazines and newspapers.  Upon leaving the forces I decided to carry on photography as a hobby.  I have an extensive portfolio in Portraiture, Natural History, Land and Seascape’s,  Wedding’s, Fashion, and Model Portfolio’s.
