Brian James - Photography Without Rules

Hi, I'm Brian James "That M43 Guy", a sometime Professional Photographer who champions Micro Four Thirds format Photography and I'm also Entertainer (singer/multi-instrumentalist) from Brampton in Cumbria at the place where the lake District of England meets the Border with Scotland at Hadrian's Wall in the UK.

As a pro photographer I specialised in portrait, headshot, school, military and corporate photography. I’m also a former press officer/photographer for the RAF Air Cadets and Rotary International covering the Cumbria and Lancashire areas of the UK.

As a recreational photographer I love nothing more than photographing old buildings and structures such as churches and railways, especially those made in the vernacular architecture and then telling their story.

I'm an Air Force Veteran with 45 years uniformed service and I'm a committed and active Rotarian which deals with my altruistic needs in life, additionally I am a member of Border City Probus club.

Over a month into my emigration and life’s becoming normal. Work is slowly coming in and, thanks to all of you, my “Path To Paphos” channel is becoming more and more successful.

Look out at the end of the week for part 2 of my aspects of living in Cyprus for Ex-Pats
