Welcome to the David Thorpe Photography, I am a freelance photographer in St Ives Cambridgeshire in the UK.

This website, my website, is a presentation of my portfolio. I am committed to taking photographs that keep my gallery looking fresh and inspiring. For me, photography is more than a job. It is a hobby. It is a passion. It is a way of life.

My first experiences of photography were in 1990. After receiving a Praktica LTL 3 from my grandfather I found myself relentlessly photographing everything from the grass to the family dog. It was safe to say, I was hooked.

For a number of years I found myself volunteering at every opportunity to take photographs for family and friends. This was greeted with high regards and encouragement, in many cases I was commended on my sharp eye and high standard of photography. The support around me and my ever-growing passion for creativity led to a realisation that the only way to keep myself smiling was to take photography seriously, I decided my hobby was to become my career.

After a decade of experience using various film SLR cameras, I felt it was time to take the plunge into digital SLR. With this advancement in technology I was able to realise the productivity, functionality and flexibility that I now had at my fingertips. My passion was only growing.

As well as my passion for photography I have 12 years experience designing websites and graphics. I offer services in both of the fields. This helps me keep a keen eye on all things creative and gives me the opportunity to combine my skills. My one desire is to give you a fantastic product.

I hope you have enjoyed reading a little bit about me, I equally hope you enjoyed my website and in particular my Photo Gallery. If you are interested in any of the services I offer please do not hesitate to contact me.
