I was deeply touched to read the very kind words posted by Trevor Sherwin over on his blog, https://www.trevorsherwin.co.uk/blog/photobookshelf-trees-a-photographic-exploration It’s a very guilty pleasure to read that your work has been enjoyed by another human being. It goes that little way to help assuage the nagging doubts we all have as artists when we’re continually comparing your own work to the vast amount of quality photography out there. Do please head over and check out Trevor’s own work https://www.trevorsherwin.co.uk/photography, the […]

2023 – A slow photography year. It seems 2023 was an extension of 2022 for me personally. This year my landscape photography was somewhat pushed to the background. Still in hiatus from social media and with few outlets for connecting with my fellow photographers I spent most of the year on commercial portraiture and commercial work. I eventually was invited to join the new social media network Bluesky late in the year. It’s been nice to reconnect in part with […]

2022 – Frankly, I think we all want to see the back of it. What a mess of a year. I’m sure i’m not alone in saying that the general tone of the year, the political drama, the cost-of-living crisis, really hampered my mood artistically. Socially it was quite a struggle too, as a generally introverted individual, the photographic community on Twitter had been a great source of inspiration and friendship. Then the takeover happened and from my own standpoint […]
As first experiences go, this was a big one. Let’s face, I’m your atypical introverted nerd. Out of the blue, a few weeks ago, I was asked by Euan Ross to participate in his long running photography podcast series ‘Biblioscapes In Discussion‘. Just take a look at the names of previous interviewees on the playlist. Let’s just say, I was terrified! These are the names of the photographers I regularly look at in awe. Anyway, Euan was not to be […]
Over the last year I’ve been working closely with the amazing team at Heritage Weavers Founded in 2020 by a team with a wealth of industry experience, they set out with an ambitious and progressive outlook to do things a little differently. As part of this process, I was hired to help build up their samples and brochure photography, and most recently to create a portfolio of custom stock imagery for use across their social media presence. The bulk of […]
I recently took the first daunting steps to publishing a photography zine. For a very long time I have had the urge to produce a photography book. The dream has always been, a big, chunky table book. Big ambitions, so best start slightly smaller! Photography zines. What is a photography zine? You may ask. A photography zine is generally a small (pages, and dimensions), self-published, magazine style book. As well as photographs, it can often contain descriptions, notes, musings, poetry, […]
