I am a mixed genre Fujifilm and 35mm photographer based in the UK on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.
Since my parents gave me my first camera (a Kodac Instamatic) around the age of 10, I have always felt a strong connection and harmony with my environment when my camera is in hand.
The ethos behind my photography is simply attempting to capture the essence, the mood of a scene. I try to avoid the obvious and look for the synchronicity of a shot with the moment at hand.
One never stops evolving and learning, so there will always be new challenges, looking for viewpoints that may not be immediately noticed. The process is cathartic.
Although landscape provides the mainstay of my photography, I am equally drawn to documentary, reportage and street, with characters that emphasise a scene. Rather than pursuing one particular subject, I am a strong believer that diversity makes for interesting content.
I use fixed focal length lenses as this allows me to use my camera more consciously - hopefully producing images that have some monologue and storytelling.
I spent some of my formative years working with the eminent homes and interiors photographer Peter Woloszynski, schlepping the gear and loading his Hasselblads on location shoots.
Following this, I spent a short but invaluable time at Battersea Park Studios with the renowned advertising and editorial photographer Ray Massey.
I regularly undertake commissions and my photography has been chosen for publications both here in the UK and overseas, as well as being featured on TV. I have also been assigned as the photographer for events and film.
