    How long have you been into photography?

    Around 1976 when I used my brother in-laws Praktica Nova 1B to record catches from our fishing trips, never looked back since then, mainly used Nikon but made the move to Fuji a few years back.

    Best Couriers?

    At work we typically send out 25K parcels a week via DPD & Royal Mail, no one else comes anywhere near close. DPD's tracking is excellent, they'll also email or text you a delivery time window. Overseas stuff, samples etc is sent DHL, expensive but the best.

    Graphics Tablets - How do you get into using them?

    I shoot models 100% of the time so its mainly skin retouching, painting colour on skin, selections, erasing etc, been using them that long it feels more natural than using a mouse.

    Graphics Tablets - How do you get into using them?

    Wouldn't be without mine for editing in PS, I would say I use it 99% of the time, I find it much more accurate compared to a mouse and I am on my third Wacom now.

    What was your most significant camera? Why?

    Used my brother in laws Practica Nova 1 to record the haul when we went fishing & that perked my interest so saved all my earnings from my job at the local butchers / farm and bought my first camera a Pentax MX, honed my skills with that before buying an LX a few years later then moved to Nikon...
