My name is Andy Piggott,

I love my wife Di, Photography, Travel and Vintage Cheddar -in that order.

My first camera was an Olympus Trip 35 bought 30 years ago which I still have.

I have been a professional photographer since 1981.

I operated a professional colour darkroom for 8 years specialising in the Cibachrome process.

Stepping out of the dark in 1997 I have been staring at photos on monitors for over a decade. I went fully digital in 2003 (though I still remember how to load film).

My photographs have been published in Australia, U.K. USA and Asia. They have been featured in photography magazines, airline in-flight magazines, photographic "how to" books, travel brochures, calendars and advertising.

Much of my photography involves travel and I love shooting landscapes, close-ups, people and nature.

My approach to teaching photography is informal, informative and fun!
