Hello my name is Helen Drewry and I am from the small village of Charlton, near Banbury, Oxfordshire.

My love of photography started many years ago when my husband brought me a Canon EOS500 SLR camera. I used this mainly for taking pictures of the countryside around our village and scenes whilst travelling abroad, some of which I was happy enough to frame and hang in our house. The next step became when asked to take photographs for the village adult and youth football teams, both posed and action shots. Friends and family started to comment how much they liked what I had produced and that I should move to taking photographs on a semi-professional basis. So here I am!

As with everything, technology has moved on and now all my pictures are taken using a Canon EOS450D digital SLR camera. With the selection of lenses at my disposal, I find I can use this to take photographs of a wide variety of subject matters. Digital photography gives the added benefit of being able to take many more pictures and select the ones which are "just right".
