Personal Notebook and Photographic Journal
Today I wanted to spend time researching for a major project I've been considering. I was going to visit a local community centre to do some research and speak to some people in person, but I ended up putting this in writing in an email. I think I'll have a better time making sure than the... Continue Reading →
I revisited the exhibition at 180 The Strand today, in order to retry some of the images I'd attempted the first time. I was more successful, and I like a lot of my results, especially from the very difficult to photograph projected-light experiential display. Also took a more satisfying image than the one I last...

After a busy day around galleries in the city yesterday I took a break back at Highgate Wood. I quite enjoy finding the detail in nature, similar to how food photography is sort of my guilty pleasure. Just walking around taking photographs of whatever catches my eye is very cathartic.I especially enjoyed finding leaves that... Continue Reading →
My first roll since my test roll came back from development today, and the results are quite promising! I started this roll on the day of the SPI Workshop, and many of the initial images are from that day. I didn't take any film, or film cameras with me to Slovakia, so the roll was...

I finally visited the new installation at the Tate Modern today, something I've been trying to find the time for for a while now. The exhibition itself is quite interesting, although the direction they went with in their "message" was a bit convoluted. It does have some brilliantly photogenic areas, but mostly it is a difficult... Continue Reading →

I'm happy with my progress, and I took these photographs while walking around Angel, practicing. I doubt it will be a mainstay of my style from now on, but it will be very useful...

Although the NEX-7 was my first "pro-level" camera the RX1R was the camera that brought me, and my photography, to a level where I started to appreciate the finer details of composition, background and foreground elements, and storytelling. It was the camera that I used throughout my Bachelors Degree, for documenting my life and for... Continue Reading →
My background is as a writer. Photography started as a tool to document my life, as well as a creative outlet with a more immediate result to writing; which proved to be very useful during my Advertising BA when producing visual content to support my concepts.Using photography as a vessel for narrative has been tricky,...

Although I'm sure I've taken photographs in my youth on disposable Kodak style cameras since becoming a photographer I have barely shot any at all. There are a few reasons for this, the same way there are a few reasons for my aversion to DSLR. To begin with it was never a conscious decision; I... Continue Reading →
