“To me, photography is an art of observation.  It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” – Elliott Erwitt.

It is 6:30 in the morning, it is March, and the air temperature is hovering around zero.  I am swimming, without a wetsuit, off the coast of Brighton, and I am lost in a sea of colour and form.  It is utterly mesmeric and I am transfixed; I am not moving, just observing, and slowly my body starts shutting down.  I am saved from my reverie by my swimming buddy, the carpenter.  And so this story begins.

My images work in two ways; from afar, they pique your interest, they intrigue your eyes and your mind as they tap into the ideal of soft fascination.  However, when you draw nearer, the aesthetic engagement changes, they become something different entirely; the minutiae, the kaleidoscopic detail, the frequencies, the sheer genius of nature explodes out of the image. ***

My two main series, “the unorganised, the immeasurable, the eternal” and “the intangible, the immiscible, the inseparable,” can be found on this website.

All the images on this website are sold as limited editions.  There will only be 9 prints (+3 AP’s) per image.  I produce very small print runs, so that my collectors know that their art work will only ever appreciate in value.  If you are interested in any of my work, please do get in contact.

If you are a commercial client and you like a specific style, I do have other images that I would be happy to release as open editions, so if that is the case, again, please do get in touch.

***  One can click through on the images here, to see them as large as possible on a screen, and one get a flavour of the imagery, but for obvious reasons they are low res.  My work is best viewed in high res, at scale, on the finest photographic paper, whilst using Giclée printing.  As ever, the gods and the devils are in the detail…
