Our background: Heathfield Studios, Alan Cross BSc CEng MIET LRPS

I have been a computer professional for all of my working life, since graduating in 1966. But well before then I was a keen amateur photographer, having been 'bitten' with my first camera at the age of fourteen. For most of the intervening years I have been involved with photographic clubs in one way or another, and even started my own camera club at the company that employed me, back in the early 1980s! Recent club activity has been with the Windsor Photographic Society, where I was Chairman for three years. I acquired admission to Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS) in March 2004, and currently support the RPS Digital Imaging Group through workshops and lectures.

In 1994 I decided to combine my computer skills with my love of photography to become skilled in the medium of digital photography. In 1996 I launched ProAxis, and with it, Heathfield Studios, offering customers my photographic restoration, manipulation and enhancement skills and services.

In 2006, after re-equipping with the latest scanner technology and pigment-based giclée printing, we are well placed to confidently offer a service to artists who are looking to optimise the return on their work by offering archival Limited Edition prints alongside the original.

A natural development of our photography, digital imaging and IT skills is the design of image-rich web sites, which we offer through ProAxis Infotech, which, like Heathfield Studios, is a trading style of ProAxis.

Original photography is also part of the services we offer, ranging from 'pack shots' for web sites through events to corporate contracts. Please email to discuss any requirements in this area.
