About

I take photographs. The work moves between street, landscape, and the spaces in between — Lancaster, Morecambe Bay, West Wales, The Gambia, and wherever else I happen to be carrying a camera.

Hailing from Lancaster, in the north west of England, I've documented people, places, and things across the planet — from Poland to Gambia and back again, the streets of Geneva, the Manchester underbelly. The work is instinctive, primarily from the streets, with regular detours into the digital and the astronomical.

From the age of fifteen, when an art teacher introduced me to Bresson's "decisive moment" alongside Robert Shore's Post-Photography, I've been trying to capture the world through the 3:2 frame of a camera — somewhere between traditional photojournalism and contemporary fine-art documentary practice. The contradiction between art, truth, and beauty is the thing I keep coming back to. I want the work to make people question the "truth" of what they're looking at.
