Pam, ever involved in the Arts as well as horses since a very early age, be it drawing, painting, piano, violin, choral singing etc, was drawn towards the art medium of photography from an early age and given her first camera for her 10th Birthday. It was always an ambition to own a Nikon.
Many thanks go to Jeannie Clark (Equestrian Photographer), Simon John (Kodak Wedding of the Year), Heather Angel (Nature Photographer), David Woodards (Wedding Photographer) and the many others who have offered inspiration, encouragement and support. Above is Pam showing Glencarrig Eleanor
