About Me
Born and raised on Barbados, I’ve spent my whole adult life leading tours and expeditions, first in Venezuela for 37 years, then on Barbados since 2018.
Photography has always been my passion.The bolt represents my 30 year relationship with Venezuela’s incredible Catatumbo Lightning.
Back to my roots on Barbados, guiding tours is still my love and joy. I plan to share my land, and images, as long as I have the energy to do so.Â

What does my island tour offer?
Full Day
The average island tour is 6 hours. I recommend 10 hours. I don’t just drive around the island. Time is gold; time to swim, walk, discuss history, culture, geology, observe wildlife, and of course, take great photos! I provide an ice box, and food and drinks are easily purchased by my guests along the way, depending on how, what and where they prefer to eat, and drink.
Photos
I have three professions; driver, tour guide, and photographer. My island tours combine the three, and provide a variety of the highest quality images. For 40+ years I have enjoyed sharing images with those who take my trips. Call it a gift from the heart.
Transport
My van is comfortable for up to 8 passengers. It has good A/C, and a large ice box for refreshments.
Guide
Guiding a tour is an art. A tour guide is a teacher of many subjects; geography, history, biology, geology, and statistics. The key is to make it fun, and interesting. I consider this my main profession.
how much does this cost?
Although I do longer days, and provide quality photos, my rates are not more than the standard for a regular island tour on Barbados. $U.S 80 per person is the cost, for a minimum of 4 people.
$U.S 280 is the total cost for less than 4 guests.

Photographic Services.
Small Ceremonies
As a one man operation, I leave the big occasions for my more specialized colleagues. If what you are looking for is something simpler, and lower in cost, I can get some great results for you!
Private Shoots
If you would like special images of yourself, or your family, I can organize a special session. I know the best locations, depending on the time of day, tides, weather, etc. Just get dressed up, and lets have some fun at one of many scenic locations of Barbados. I have just the cameras for that!
Surf photography
As a surfer myself, after lightning photography, this is my favourite pastime. I can be hired for a session, or you may find me on my free days just taking photos of random surfers. If I am there when you surf, drop me a message. I may have your best waves!
