A summer meetup alongside the Nottingham Canal with the Art-Culture-Tourism group headed by Marysia Zipser , who kindly hosted us for the day.

I thought I’d launch my Stories and Prints Patreon to be able to bring to light many photographs which I’ve made over the years and turn them into collectable prints (approx A5) , each with an interesting story and theme which I will present each month. In terms of content and themes, I’m thinking that I have a couple of focuses – with […]

In the light of current circumstances, I figured I’d share how I was making the most of the situation to be able to diversify what I have to offer around work I do as a photographer .

Here’s a blog summarising what I would have said […]

Some really trying times at the minute as you can imagine. After having a promising last year and beginning to find my feet as a business the challenge obviously now is that a lot the events work I do has had to be put on hold. Not helping is that also work that I do with the University of Nottingham has had to […]

Chinese New Year in Birmingham, Creative Mornings Derby , woodland in Bestwood Park and more… A new regular series of articles where I want to share on my website some images I make which have interesting stories , but which don’t necessarily fit neatly into my portfolio of commissioned work as a candid storyteller , and also documenting features within the built environment […]
