My photographic journey began in the 1970s with 35mm film cameras and has continued ever since, albeit with a few breaks. I migrated from film to digital equipment along the way and today use full-frame mirrorless cameras and lenses.

Although I shoot in both colour and black and white my preference is for the latter as I believe it allows greater creative freedom and potentially brings more drama to a scene. In much of my work there is an emphasis on high tonal contrast, pattern and texture feature prominently, and line often takes centre stage.

My favourite subject is architecture. For me, apart from a few exceptions, architectural photography is not about documenting buildings as we find them or even in their entirety. Instead, it’s about seeing them with fresh eyes and capturing them in ways which highlight and enhance their sculptural qualities. In this way, I try to transform what are often familiar neighbours into new and abstract forms.

I am particularly interested in exploring the overlap between reality and illusion in the buildings I photograph. As well as the structures themselves, the raw materials for my approach are often fleeting and include reflections, shadows, intersecting planes, and unusual viewpoints.

I also have an interest in several other photographic genres. Wherever I am, even when immersed on one of my architectural expeditions, I never pass up an opportunity to photograph other things that catch my eye.
