About
My natural environment as a photographer is the open air. Most images come from the expanse of a landscape or the detail of a particular place.
I am drawn to arrangements of almost abstract features within landscapes, buildings and idiosyncratic objects, and become absorbed in transitions and ambiguities of scale.
My home in rural Dorset lies at the heart of my work. Walking into this landscape constantly feeds my photographic preoccupations. I also like to revisit more distant familiar places and ancient buildings in order to delve deeper.
A few years ago I moved away from film cameras and darkroom processes to embrace the possibilities of digital technology. The skills developed in the darkroom, honed over many years, formed the foundation of my approach to digital processing in Adobe Lightroom.
I kept photography at the centre of my life for more than 30 years by working part-time as a sub-editor for the Financial Times until my retirement in 2012. Now it defines the creative rhythm of my life.
