In March 2017 I got to visit the Library of Birmingham to make a series of photographs showcasing it’s quirky and imaginative exterior , and interior design mostly from a place of curiosity. The library opened in 2013 after three years of construction replacing the former Central Library  – one of its rooms preserved very nicely right at the top of the new building […]

Nottingham’s Riverside Festival this year came around at just the right time for it to be a chance to test some new camera equipment, funded courtesy of the Prince’s Trust  –  and see what it would do with of my annual fireworks challenge! Extremely pleased with the results – most of the images apart from the first (14-24 f/2.8) and last (80-200mm f/2.8) were made with […]

A small subset of the many wonderful and lush gardens which can be found within The Park Estate , Nottingham – opened up for one day back in June this year as part of the Open Gardens event. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be able to take a look at some very rarely seen parts of the city – and enjoy some of […]

The most memorable aspect of this particular evening was the way that some angry clouds at sunset settled down to give way to some peaceful skies as the night drew in. I made these images of Beeston Marina , and the nearby surroundings in March earlier this year. With it being nearly four years since I’d last made photographs of the Marina I’d thought […]

Last Wednesday morning I had […]

As part of the Creative Reactions event I’ve been invited alongside with other prominent local creatives by STEM Outreach Nottingham to tell the story of science to the wider public. This was achieved through collaborations with researchers at the University of Nottingham. The images above will be displayed at the Pint of Science Grand Finale at the Nottingham Contemporary  on the evening of the 18th of […]

Here’s what I came up with from a spontaneous off the cuff photo walk from around the town of Southwell in Nottinghamshire one evening back , a week or so again. (It helps that earlier that day I had a successful interview with Nottingham’s Creative Quarter and a forthcoming showcase on their platforms detailing the work I do – more soon!). I’d come along a […]

The role aperture plays within photography will introduce the first of a new series of articles in which I explore various technical and artistic aspects of photography in depth and discuss the ideas behind some of my work. In this particular edition I’ll be discussing the role of the lens aperture within photography – how it affects light passing through it physically, and how […]
