Welcome to my portfolio of documentary & Street photography, which like life is a constant work in progress! It's all about being present in the moment, capturing the beauty of the everyday, a sense of place & time & the atmosphere of the event or occasion. Whether the photographs are of people, lifestyles, urban or rural environments, it is observational storytelling, un-staged & without a posed appearance.
I am a self-taught enthusiast photographer & have been learning, experimenting & building a portfolio since 2015. I live in Bedale, a market town in the Yorkshire Dales with my beautiful wife & our naughty fluffy cat Gigi.
I shoot both digital & film formats - the former using Fujifilm X-T3, X-T30ii & X-100T cameras, the latter in medium format a Bronica SQ-A and Yashica LM and in 35mm an Olympus OM2n. My pinhole cameras comprise of a beautiful walnut creation by ONDU and a plastic fantastic Holga 120PC. Check out my YouTube channel for videos on my pinhole photography. I'm also having great fun with cheap plastic point and shoot cameras.
Influences are American street photographers Vivian Maier & Garry Winogrand. Documentary photographers, Diane Arbus & Jill Freedman. English photographers; Jane Bown, Martin Parr, Don Mucullin, London based Dorothy Bohm & photographer & mentor Howard Maryon-Davis.
If you are hosting an event, sporting or social, a party or even a protest & would like me to capture the scene & record the moments for participants, guests &/or hosts alike please get in touch.
All the photographs are available to purchase; information is available upon request.
