My Work
New Work | Street Photography
Having been in a creative rut for the last few years, unhappy with the what I was getting out of my camera, not to mention that the main body of my work requires it to be dark; a change was needed. Having changed camera to a medium format Fuji and a change to a 4:3 aspect ratio, I am thankfully finding myself inspired to make new work.
New Work | Industrial Heart
As an offshoot of the new Street Photography project, I have started to create images that document the industrial areas around Bristol, from Industrial units, to large scale industrial infrastrucrtrure around the port area of Avonmouth.
Night Works
In the 90s I started making images of empty city streets at night for a project on my photography degree in Sunderland. I was semi-nocturnal at the time, so it made sense. About 8 years ago and now in Bristol with a normal sleeping pattern, I started up the project again and this now makes up the bulk of my personal work.
Portraiture
Portraiture has always been a key part of my photographic practice. All the way back to when I started a photography GCSE over 30 years ago. This started with taking portraits of friends but for about 5 years, it became a part of my job. This helped to hone this skill as I would take at least one to two portraits per week during that time.
The Agency
When the business wanted to build a new website, I was not only tasked with carrying out analysis to document what the business needed the website to do and define the rules for the various sections; I was also tasked with doing the photography for the site.
The Agency Parties
It all started when I brought my camera along for an agency summer party back in 2011. I spent the day and evening taking photographs and drinking. The next morning rather hungover, I edited a set of the best mages, put them onto the network and sent out an email with a link. In this act an agency tradition was set that would last for the next 7 years.
Seascapes
Having grown up on the coast, to visits to Lyme Regis and Cornwall, I have always loved the sea. This is a collection of my seascape images.
The Tours
The agency that I worked for did a cycle tour each year, riding from the group HQ in London to our office in Bristol. This was made up of around 40 cyclists and a group of support crew assisting the riders with spares and provisions. Along with these duties, I also documented the two tours that I was part of. This gallery is a number of documentary images from both years.
Instagram Stuff

Instagram for airports
For a period of time, I was spending a lot of time travelling for work. This meant that I was spending a lot of time in airports waiting for planes. I find airports visually fascinating, so I took the opportunity to create a small Instagram based project over the 3-4 months travel between Bristol, Amsterdam and Bratislava

Architectural Instagrams
I love photographing architecture. My photography has leant more in the direction of angles and lines rather than curves. This gallery contains a number of Instagram based architectural images around Bristol.
