About Envision

Once Upon A Time...

Leigh's fascination with pictures started at age five on receiving this fancy 35mm Babette. With eye pressed firmly against the view finder, a love of seeking out and capturing beautiful images was born. Numerous rolls of 35mm film later, Leigh decided he wanted to be a cameraman when he grew up!

Time to work...
