Here are a couple of comments after a recent presentation.
“Fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge; so inspirational in what feels like bleak time. I have felt very much in the doldrums but now I almost feel like I can go and capture images again for the first time in ages. Once again much appreciated that you so unselfishly share knowledge and images” Thank you from Wigan
“Thank you for a great presentation. Macro is not normally my thing but I have been really impressed seeing what and how you do it. You kept me interested and I will be having a go in April”
“Wow fantastic evening, thank you for sharing”

Andy studied Fine Art at Bristol and his art college background meant he spent as much time painting and drawing as he did developing his photography and this has had a profound influence on his style.Andy’s images are described as being “very painterly” in their appearance, he has become one of the UK’s most original flower photographer.
“The natural world is my lifelong passion and provides inspiration for my drawing, painting and photography. The macro lens is like a window that transports me into another world. In this place I observe details, shapes and patterns that are not usually seen even though most of the subjects are right under our noses. “I am fascinated by the intricate structure and design found in nature and my photography celebrates this diverse but orderly world that sometimes goes unnoticed.” Andy Small
Since he and his wife designed their first garden, flowers and plants have become the inspiration for his art. They now have a very prolific cottage garden which provides him with most of his subject matter.
