About

Welcome to my site

I am an amateur photographer based in Kent, England. I specialise in medium format analogue film photography, and I create original and desirable pieces of work. I strive for a dreamy vintage aesthetic in my photos, and I exploit the imperfections and vulnerability form using cheap plastic cameras and expired film.

If your looking for award-standard digital work, this is not the site for you....

My main body of work centres around the ocean and the lifestyles surrounding it, most favoured - surfing & beach culture.

I search for niche areas of interest and follies within the seaside and urban environments, and the people from those places bring all my work together and I have a equal passion for staged and candid portraiture.

My work is grouped into three simple galleries for you to browse: Ocean Lifestyle, Urban Jungle, People & Portraiture.

I often have my work on view to the public in various places and formats from exhibitions, in print and online publications.
