Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss working with me on your project, I'd love to hear from you.
Making Photographs
You have to search hard to find a good photograph. Then again, sometimes you don't.
Some photographs are found through quiet contemplation; spotting an interesting composition and bunking down until the right light falls in the right way.
Others jump at you out of nowhere; giving it another 5 minutes on a bitterly cold morning and finding 30ft icicles hanging from a cliff that would have otherwise gone unnoticed, or finding a beautiful burnt bicycle when foreground interest was nowhere to be found.
Hours spent wandering remote landscapes, witnessing spectacular sunrises and being blown around by freak storms. I love it.
Influences
To name a few: the self referential work of Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir, Mike McFarlane's stunning full circle panoramas and the ground breaking HDR photography of Trey Ratcliff.
But the single biggest influence on my photography has been Joe Cornish. He has impeccable technique and, coupled with his formidable talent, has produced some awe inspiring landscape photographs.
Biography
I grew up in Marske-by-the-sea on the North Yorkshire coast. I graduated with a first class degree in Music Composition from Coventry University in 2001. London called and I moved there soon afterwards and haven't yet left. I worked as a musician and a performance artist before taking up photography and I have been lucky enough to exhibit my work in venues throughout the UK and in St. Petersburg.
The landscape of London has been as influential as the landscape of my childhood home, and I have taken my personal hyper-real vision of London to the natural landscape in order to develop my unique style. I've also drawn influence from my background in composition as I find photography and music to be analogous in many ways; both involve the contemplated arrangement of objects in a more or less abstract space.
I have also photographed weddings and festivals, and have worked with actors, musicians, film directors and interior designers. Working closely with other people has been a thoroughly rewarding experience and each project has been an opportunity to explore and realise the personal vision of my client.
