RECENT CHANGES: I have been slowly adding photographs
onto this website and there are now nearly 2,000 photographs of around 1,200
species in 160 genera.
Some of them accompany the notes on my Articles page but most are in links
from the digital images
page. If you would like any further information or higher resolution images, let
me know.
I
have been photographing species orchids for over 25 years and have more than
30,000 colour slides and over 25,000 digital images. I have also been
writing a regular monthly article for the Orchid Species Bulletin for over 20
years. The Bulletin is published by the Orchid Species
Society that is based in Brisbane, Queensland. My article
normally comments on the plants displayed at their meetings. This has also
resulted in my giving many talks to orchid societies and others over the years,
and a selection of them is listed on my Talks
page.
 If
you want to see some of my photos go to my Articles page and click on the links,
where you will find some photos of various orchids and the articles I wrote
about them. In addition, if you go to my digital images
page you will find links to photos of every species I have available. You could also join the Orchid Species Society whose bulletin each month contains a long article
of mine and 15 or more of my colour photographs.
Some
of my photographs are of displays at various orchid conferences, including each
of the last eight World Orchid Conferences (Tokyo, Auckland, Glasgow, Rio de
Janeiro, Vancouver, Kuala Lumpur, Dijon and Miami). I also have over 250
orchids photographed in 3 dimensions (in other words two slides which give a
3-dimensional image when viewed together).
Nearly
3,000 of the slides have been scanned as digital images, and together with the
digital photos they comprise over 4,000 species in over 625 genera, and the
list is growing. A full list of genera for which I have digital images is
on my digital images
page. Many of my photos have appeared in
books and magazines and were used on the Orchidopedia
CDrom which Greg Steenbeeke
and I produced some years ago (which is now no longer available). 
I
am happy to come and give a talk to an
orchid society using my photos for illustration purposes. But be aware that I
am based in Brisbane, Australia, so you may have to pay fares for overseas
trips! I should also point out this is only a hobby (some might say an
obsession!) so I am not a professional photographer and fit all this, and
growing orchids in my orchid house, in between part time work and having a
life!
On
my links page you will find links to a
number of sites, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, which have
information about species orchids, as well as some conferences and other sites
with orchid species photographs.
By
all means contact me, particularly if
you have any suggestions or corrections to the information on my site. Bear in mind
that all the text and photographs on these pages are copyright. Let me know if
you would like to use any of my images.
