Leo’s interest in photography started as a schoolboy and, besides taking photographs he self-taught himself how to develop and print before, finally, becoming a “slide” worker.
He joined his first camera club in the 1970’s and began entering National and International Exhibitions shortly afterwards with reasonable success over the years.

Changing from film to digital was a long process as he endeavours to emulate the success he had with slides by trying to “get it right in the camera” rather than in post computer manipulation.   He likes to photograph anything that takes his fancy but has veered towards “people” pictures and natural history following his many travels, particularly in India.  He is heavily involved in the administration side of UK photography and has been President of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain which has approximately 1,000 camera clubs affiliated with an estimated 40,000 members.  He is in demand for both his judging, both in UK and abroad, and also his humorous talks based on his travels.
