If you have see an image that I have captured on my social channels, which is not available in the store, please contact me and I will see if I can help.

Why street photography?
Quite simply, during the pandemic, I had to find something to occupy my time and decided to pick up a camera. Due to distance and social restrictions, street photography was the easiest genre to take up. Having said that, I’ve always been an avid watcher of people, ever since I was a child, always pointing out randomness or unfolding scenes to my family and friends. I soon found that my wondering mind and inability to focus on a single thing/person/conversation when in a public place, helped with my street photography endeavours.

What's with the film and digital thing?
I enjoy both formats as a way of making images for very different reasons. I lean more towards film photography for my family and close to home image making, but also do enjoy making street and general images on 35mm. I am planning to make more work on medium format this year, so keep an eye on my Insta film photography feed for developments.
I have a kind of love-hate relationship with digital photography or that should be the process of making and editing digital images. I find the almost infinite adjustments you can make a time consuming and never ending process. I’m never happy, ever. In fact, I have a huge catalogue of images that I haven’t shared due to lack of motivation to edit. With film, I choose the stock for the look I want, make the images and voila! Simple.

What focal length do you shoot?
Most of my images are made on a 28mm or 35mm focal length. I don’t like to rely on autofocus, so prefer to have a large depth of field available. Plus, I really enjoy the context that wider focal length brings to an image.

Which camera brand do you use?
Various. I have no loyalty to a particular brand. I have two types of digital camera, one fixed lens the other interchangeable.
Film cameras, I use loads of different things. From £6 charity shop find point and shoots to rangefinders. Depends on my mood at the time.
