APPROACH
Personable and relaxed, my empathic nature and my wealth of experience ensure that I’ll create an easy going rapport and we’ll enjoy a calm, collaborative shoot.
I’m straightforward and honest and any direction will be gentle and clear. There’s no need for awkward posing and there’s no performative pressure.
I favour natural light, and film for the warmth and texture of grain.
My work has been described as ‘beautiful’, ‘cinematic’ and ‘very moving’.
ATYPICAL PERSPECTIVE
I believe that my inability to visualise results in a heightened appreciation for daily experiences - the sorts of things that others might overlook.
I greet every new photography session with enthusiasm and fresh eyes having neither preconceptions of the image I’d like to create, nor expectations of a particular outcome.
My neurological blind spot ensures a spontaneous, non-formulaic attitude - and I’m good at finding solutions if there are any tricky circumstances to deal with.
ANALOGUE & DIGITAL
Photographs on film have soul, depth and character - the emotion and grain of analogue is tangible and the colours are exquisite. I work with both medium format and 35 mm film cameras.
Efficient, convenient, sharp and fast - my digital camera and I can take on all scenarios!
My Rolleiflex TLR was made in 1959, my Olympus in the late 70’s and my Sony in 2024.
