About
I started photography when I was 11 years old and fell in love with it. My first camera was a Zenith TTL made in the USSR. As a teenager I spent all of my holidays in the Lake District, it’s not surprising then that the images that move me the most today are those of the Landscape.
I now live in Sydney and have a family, landscape photography isn’t as easily accessible or as attractive as the UK however, urban photography is. I also see photography and walking as a form of meditation, the more I walk, the less stress I feel. The less stress I feel, the better husband and father I become, and the more content I feel.
My philosophy
Work on Projects | Projects will give you direction and purpose, and will allow you to create a narrative or story.
Shoot a lot | When in doubt, click. Hesitation is one of the things that potentially kills a great street photograph.
Walk a lot | The only way you are going to capture great street photographs is to walk on the streets.
Accept that you will bin 99.9% of photos | Street Photography is a numbers game.
Why I do what I do
In the quiet moments, I find my muse, my lens in hand, my walking shoes.
Light and shadow dance in view, each click I make, it’s what I do.
It’s what I do, this quiet craft, to hold the moments that rush past.
My photographs, they weave and bind, the fragments of my wandering mind.
Each image whispers, real and true, a tale of life, it’s what I do.
In every frame, a part of me, a glimpse of what is meant to be.
