I am a photographic artist living and working in the seaside city of Brighton and Hove. In 2011 I received a distinction from the Arts University in Bournemouth whilst taking a year out from my regular job to study photography as part of their diploma in art and design. I have a variety of photographic based interests and like to explore image interpretation by using a number of different techniques such as camera-less, analogue and digital media, respectively. This stems from challenging myself technically to create images that attempt to capture the depth, shape and visual impact of the proposed subject matter by presenting it on media that enables an organic type of exploration. It is very much an evolving process, encouraging me to closely examine the living and abstract world and form images that explore the spontaneous nature that subtly exists all around us. I am constantly striving to observe and form my own unique frame of the visual situation laid out before me, using black and white or colour, studying the subject matter and exploring its potential visual interpretation beyond just representing the view in front of the camera, shaping its context to produce more ethereal type imagery.​Many of my photographic projects originate from a desire to invite the viewer to witness some of the subtle unseen details of their environment.
