I am a photographer who works across a range of subjects from landscapes to abstracts. I am inspired by colour, space and stories as much as places or people. So, my images are often grouped in panels that tell the story of a place or an event and capture its essential visual elements and character. I am as inspired by painters (Turner, Rothko or Heron) as by photographers or locations, and seek to distil through palette and texture the essence of a scene.
My work includes landscapes from India to the Outer Hebrides, wild places in low light, performers on the street and on stage and everyday abstract images. Recently I have been exploring more abstract and painterly approaches using intentional camera movement and these works feature a lot in this selection. I feel like I have moved through increasingly abstract and dynamic moods as I have responded to recent events.
I have also been producing youtube videos showcasing styles of photography or telling a particular story. You can see them on my youtube channel. Over the lockdown, I produced a set of sixty images “closer to home”.
I have two Royal Photographic Society Distinctions – a Licentiate and an Associateship. I use a mirrorless digital camera and my Dad's old Nikon Film SLR, but also very often my iPhone to capture images as I see them.
I am an active member of the Dorking Camera Club
I hope you enjoy these images and welcome responses to them.
