Finding beauty in industrial photography.
I am drawn to capturing urban and industrial landscapes. I shoot in a deliberately stylised way so I can give expression to subjects that are often overlooked.
It was different then
I spent fifteen years working as a professional photographer from my studio in London. My work back then was mainly about people on the fringe of society. Photography allowed me to meet people who I would never encounter if I didn’t have a camera. I was published regularly in Marie Claire, Tatler, Maxim, Cosmopolitan and other weekend newspaper supplements.
Then I stopped. I gave it up, or to be honest, it gave me up. I went to university to study Counselling and then spent ten years working as a specialist Addiction Counsellor; alcohol, drugs and gambling. At the same time, I came to grips with my own addiction and, I am proud to say, I haven’t had a drink since 16th August 2007. Feel free to talk to me about it. It’s the best thing I have done for myself.
Nowadays
I photograph places; cities, industry and shipping. I hope my photographs will speak of what it is that demands my attention and conveys my affection.
I’m based in Bristol with my wife and two fantastic children…and a dog, two tortoises, various fish, two guinea pigs and a slow worm somewhere in the compost bin.
