Carl Evans.
I was born in Hereford, grew up all over the place, and now I’m here.
I don't believe in restricting creativity therefore I like to photograph a range of different subjects which in turn enhances my experiences and keeps me creative. I'm a hobby lover and always found new things to keep me occupied from playing the harmonica to riding a unicycle, there was lots more, trust me! Photography is the new that has stuck, as of 2018 it would have been 7 years exploring the art of photography. If you don't include the thousands of hours spent watching YouTube, I'm entirely self taught!
Best thing that’s happened to me photography wise is becoming a Brand Ambassador for RedSnapper UK.
I've been fortunate to have travelled with my soon to be wife, spending time in Asia, South Pacific, Indonesia, Thailand and New Zealand, not forgetting the trusty old Toyota Hiace campervan we lived in for 2 years while driving around Australia.
I like to grab my gear and head out, mostly on unplanned spontaneous trips, it could be up the road somewhere local, living in the Cotswolds means that there is always a photo to be had near by, or a weekend away somewhere further afield.
