From Hobby to Full-Time Profession

Originally from King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Rob now resides in Great Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, selected for its central location and excellent road access. This strategic position allows him to serve clients across the country.

Rob’s journey into photography began in the 1990s when his late father passed down a Pentax film camera. In 2002, Rob advanced to digital photography by purchasing his first digital camera. At that time, he was working in the events and promotions industry as a freelance Event Manager. Prior to this, Rob had spent six years in retail, providing him with a strong foundation in customer service and business operations.

Drawing on his extensive background in both retail and event management, Rob decided to transition to photography full-time. His diverse experiences have equipped him with a unique perspective and skill set, enabling him to excel in many aspects of photography.

Rob now operates a successful photography business, working nationally and internationally. His expertise is well-regarded, and he is known for his exceptional customer service and professionalism. Rob is a respected professional in the industry, recognised for his high standards and versatility.
