Everyone’s a photographer these days.
I do it because I can’t really help it.
I see things. Little juxtapositions and oddservations that everyone else surely notices, but I just can’t leave them be.
I see things that aren’t even there too. Like a narrative playing out in a scene. Or, a surrealist take on the inanimate or ordinary. Well, it’s faster than painting it.
It seems my brain is hardwired for recurrent themes. There’s a bit of an obsession with details. Chiaroscuro. Cloudscapes. And cards.
A lot of this undoubtedly stems from the inspiration I’ve stolen over the years from the likes of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bill Brandt, Alfred Stieglitz (for the clouds), Elliot Erwitt, Martin Parr, Gregory Crewdson and most recently Trent Parke.
And, like most of them, I strive for purity. I prefer natural light, and working in-camera. Alright then, maybe a little Photoshop from time to time.
Sales:
If you’d like a print to call your own, then you can buy one right here on this website. You can opt for a quick turnaround lab-quality professional print. Or, an archival-quality giclée print. These ones are fussed over, stamped and signed by me.
Unless otherwise noted, I edition my work like publishers do with books. First edition, second edition and so on.
If you’d like to use an image for commercial purposes, you’re not alone. Join the likes of Condé Nast, Rough Guide, The Times, Diageo and Land Rover UK by effortlessly purchasing my images through alamy, here.
