A short bio of me

John Margetts ARPS

My interest in photography dates back to when I was at school and one of our masters asked if anyone was interested in starting a photography group. It sounded interesting so I said yes, later on after he had taken our pictures we were taken into his darkroom to see the results and how it was done.

When in his darkroom he started to develop the images and then, as if by magic, that first image appeared in the developing dish, from that moment on I was hooked.

That facination of creating an image has stayed with me since then, I went on to study photography and became a full time professional photographer with my own studio in West Drayton, Middlesex.

I joined The Royal Photographic Society and achieved their Distinction of Associate (ARPS).

Following several years of doing  voluntary work at National, Regional and Local level, I was very honoured to be granted their 'Special Members Award', and with that I also recieved

Honary Life Membership.

Some years ago following my move to Chatteris I built my new home studio, which I have called 'Rainbow Studio'. In this studio I have been able to contiue to do some creative photography and give my clients  some great images. They have all been well are pleased with their images, and I am confident they will continue  to treasure them for many years to come.
