David Muscroft Productions

I get a tremendous buzz from seeing a great picture on my Canon's screen. It's still the same thrill I experienced seeing a negative or transparency 30-odd years ago. I didn't originally plan to be a photographer. I started my photojournalist wanderings with a camera when he was about 15. Relatives lived on the outskirts of London, and I would take the Central Line tube into town and explore the capital. I also admit to playing hooky from sixth form to be out and about with my first camera, and then sending the results to magazines such as Amateur Photographer.

In later years, and with the aid of a drivers license, I would drive around Kent shooting anything which took my fancy, then submitting prints to publications such as Country Life, Kent Life and This England. In fact my love of travel photography started at this time. I have recently received a reproduction fee for such an image submitted to a county magazine around 30 years ago!
