Most photographers will tell you that any form of photography has an element of creativity depending on the person behind the lens. However, Les believes that the simple 'Point & Shoot' type of photography is not 'Creative' in the true sense of the word! Creativity is based on an idea and then achieving the finished result on film, often by a combination of several exposures, utilising, not only one's imagination, but also taking the capability of the camera to its limit. One of his first creative pictures was taken in 1988 and was of a birthday cake with all 21 candles that lit up under water, combined with clever star burst effects and mirror reflections. Since then Les has developed many tricks and special effects, that not only has won him many World Class photographic events, but also world class acclaim. The most recent being the 1996 World Championships held in Spain and Paris, where he won with pictures consisting of 2 up to 5 exposures on the same frame, rewinding the film no less than 4 times in the camera in realtime! The development of these skill's and techniques has led Les into the Commercial arena , utilising the underwater environment to promote branded products.
