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. To see more of my travel photography go to my travel photography site; www.travelphotographer.ws

Wedding photography and portraiture is another part of what I do. You can see some examples at my wedding website:www.sydneyweddings.net

I have taught photography and Photoshop (Adobe Certified Expert) to individuals and to groups both in casual and in corporate environments.

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

Lessons can include Photoshop (Adobe Certified Expert) including retouching techniques.
