I’m a photographer who loves capturing quiet stories through ordinary moments that most people miss. These everyday scenes don’t scream, but when you take a moment to look closely, they’re surprisingly full of character.
I’m a fan of minimalist clean frames, soft light, and plenty of space. I’m not after perfection; I’m after feeling and light. A photo doesn’t need to be packed with stuff to be full. If one simple moment hints at a bigger story, that’s the kind of image I’m after.
I’m always on the lookout for things that make me pause and shoot. Later, I try to find the thread that connects these moments. Often, it’s contrast: nature/ human design, stillness/ movement, intention/ accident, shadow/ light. If a photo raises a question rather than an answer, I like it. The viewer might wonder why I took the photo at all, and that’s a good thing.
There’s something magical about the mundane that I find interesting. That’s what I try to capture; the overlooked details that say something about how we live, what we value, and what we forget.
I don’t expect viewers to analyse my work. There may be nothing that’s ‘deep and meaningful’ about the photo. I just hope it makes them feel something familiar, maybe even personal. A bit of humour, a bit of melancholy, a bit of “I’ve seen that before.” If a photo can do that with just a few elements, then I’m happy.

Thank you for taking the time to look through my photos.
I don't push prints for sale but if you're interested in acquiring any prints drop me an email; click on the envelope above.
Sometimes I get asked what I use to produce my photos. I don’t think it’s that important, but I do enjoy the 'gear' aspects of photography, including post processing. It is important to understand your equipment so that you use the right tool for the job. In the digital past I've used Nikons (a bunch including D70, D90, D200, D800) and Fujifilm (most of the XT range at some stage) and in the film past I've used Mamiya (PRB67 Pro SD and Mamiya 7), Contax G1, Nikon FA and processed my film and printed in a home darkroom. I don't keep my cameras/ lenses and trade them when I want to change/ upgrade so for now I have...
Cameras: Sony A7RV and Sony A7CR
Bag: Mindshift BackLight® 18L, Mindshift PhotoCross™ 10, and a Bellroy Venture Sling 10L (there's no such thing as the 'right' bag!)
