"What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are."

George Eastman - Developer of Kodak camera

My earliest experience into the magical world of photography was as a little boy, I remember getting my first camera and waiting for days to get the images back and seeing the magic in a photograph that I had taken. Years on I still get excited by the magic of taking photographs; they can excite, flatter, bring on emotions and of course evoke memories of what that particular image means to an individual. Like many things in life, if you develop a love and passion for something, by putting time, effort and energy, only then you will be rewarded many times over.

I am now a semi-professional photographer as a Canon Professional Services (CPS) Member and a contributor to Alamy a leading rights managed stock photography library for photographic images, however, the acquisition of artistic skills in making images has been a long road of self-awareness and discovery.

Frederick James Gormer covering the London Marathon Based in the United Kingdom, I have a passion for travel photography particularly in the United States of America. Travel and photography form a perfect and complimentary partnership - documenting the diverse cultures, people and landscapes our world has to offer. I have decided not to specialise in a certain type of photography and am happy to capture an image that pleases me or a client, recently I have embarked on portrait photography and have invested in a fully equipped studio. In doing so, I have developed new skills and become proficient in what has always proved to be a technically challenging subject.

I have fully embraced the concept of digital imaging without any reservations and amazed at the results from this technology in terms of quality, creativity, control and its immediacy.

My passion will always be to explore new places, capture the smile from a subject and to push the boundaries of my imagination.
