Born and bred in Norfolk, Jools bought his first camera in 1985, his passion has been to photographically record the quiet backwaters of the Norfolk countryside - the parts we might drive past and not give a second thought to. Initially, photography was a hobby, but, with the encouragement of others, including Picturecraft gallery owner Adrian Hill, Jools took the decision to share his vision of Norfolk. From a simple poppy in a field of barley, to a winter-gripped landscape or a threatening sky over the North Norfolk coast, anything of beauty found in the county is a potential subject. Rather than spending time on the latest high-tech camera gadgets, Jools uses only traditional 35mm and medium format film cameras, preferring to concentrate on capturing the county in his own way. Many of his photographs are still taken on the slightly battered 35mm Olympus SLR he has been using to record the Norfolk Countryside for nearly a quarter of a century. www.joolsnorfolkimages.co.uk  telephone: 07778 516477
