Biography

My style represents a passion for the urban mundane, the liminal spaces of everyday that are not inherently beautiful. I love photographing these on film, which captures the gravity of light much better than digital (in my opinion).

inspiration

I am inspired by the work of Magnum photographers, such as Harry Gruyaert. Their approach to capturing the world around them as a passive witness emboldens me to approach normal subjects with the desire to elevate them beyond their prosaic reality.

medium

I use film to capture the scenes, and having developed the negatives I use a traditional enlarger to expose the image onto silver gelatin papers or colour RA-4 papers. The process is known as C-type, and there is no digital interaction at all. C-type was the common method used to create prints. It it now very uncommon but I have learned the techniques from lessons in my college days and also YouTube.
