Hi, my name is Stuart & I am the main photographer for KindnessPhotography which is based in the Whitley Bay area of Newcastle and the North East of England. I live with my wife, daughter and three lunatic dogs, with two more kids that have flown the nest, and now three grand kids and I'm still under 50, wow. I first got a camera around the age of ten years old, which was one of these I think and I just couldn't put it down. What really got me going and passionate about photography however was when I got passed down my big brothers SLR camera which I still have to this day. A Practica MTLB SLR film camera with a removable flash and interchangeable lenses. Ohh wow what a camera that was, especially when I got an 80-200mm zoom lens for it and saw it's potential and what I was capable of capturing, with a bit of bird and wildlife photography and action photos of my friends on their BMX bikes and skate boards trying not to fall off while looking super cool.
