About Me
“I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar. ”
— Martin Parr
My Work
My work is rooted in my interests in documentary and portrait photography.
When shooting portraits I am seeking a true sense of a subject framed in a real environment. In my landscapes and documentary work it is about capturing a true sense of the place and attempting to convey a narrative. I am always trying to capture a sense of authenticity in my work.
Portraiture has always been a passion of mine, since having our two daughters I developed my own approach to children's and family portraiture and lifestyle work.
