Portfolio

Photography has taken me to some memorable places over the years.

Some have been fairly close to home, early mornings in the Lake District, changing weather along the North East coast, or quiet roads heading north through Scotland. Others have taken me much further afield, from the backstreets and markets of Europe to old cities, harbours and places where the light, food and pace of life feel like a different world.

While landscape photography remains a big part of my work, it has never been the whole story. I’m just as drawn to streets, coastlines, architecture, markets and the smaller details that give a place its character.

These galleries are not fixed collections so much as ongoing projects. I return to places often, see them differently each time, and continue to add new work as ideas develop. Some photographs come from long-familiar ground, others from somewhere entirely new.

That’s the beauty of photography — the same place is never quite the same twice.
