Biography

My mission is promote analogue photography, to use materials and techniques which are slowly declining in popularity and accessibility and create art which has a unique hand-made feel, free from the influence of digital manipulation.

inspiration

I am inspired by street photography, but also the mundane topographical studies of land and society by William Eggleston, Mitch Epstein, and Dolores Marat. They find an inquisitive beauty within our prosaic day to day surrounds and I find that fascinating. My stomping ground is Coventry, and there is an abundance of inspiration in the decaying concrete.

medium

I use traditional darkroom techniques to make photographic prints. This means all prints are made from a negative, and printed through an enlarger onto photographic paper. I use colour and black and white techniques, each is a slightly different process. One print can take upto a day to create, through evaluation and testing before making the final print.
