woman had refused him.
Then there was capturing the moment a singer
kissed Prince Philip backstage on his 80th
birthday, and the day he took his eight year-old
daughter to Legoland in Windsor as his ‘cover’
after a tip-off saying David Beckham was there.
On that occasion, he ended up following the
footballer down the motorway and doing a snatch
shot from his car!
Graham has given talks about his encounters
with the great and the good at Photography
Conventions and Rotary Clubs over the years,
and he’s planning another one at Ryde Rowing
Club next year. He’s also considering a book
about his experiences behind the camera – so
watch this space.
Currently, he’s enjoying living on the Island,
having relocated to Ryde in 2014.
“I’ve been a regular visitor to the Island since my
dad moved here in 1986 and have always loved
it” he says.
“I love the lifestyle and there are plenty of events
and festivals that I enjoy covering”.
Last year, among other things, he covered the
Isle of Wight Festival’s reunion gig in London for
the OK! Magazine diary.
Now Graham plans to use his press and wedding
photography experience and his teaching skills to
offer a series of tutorials on the Island.
He says he’ll be using his skills to teach others
in a range of situations - without all the technical
jargon - and how it’s possible to make money
from them.
