Personal Notebook and Photographic Journal
Today I recorded my first ever podcast interview with popular podcaster Valerie Jardin. She has been talking to different photographers for quite a few years now, and has an excellent format which really cuts through to what that photographer has to offer. I've been trying to get on Valerie's show since last summer, but unfortunately... Continue Reading →
It was with great pride I announced that I had started to offer a short course in Street Photography at the same University I got my degree. This was back at the end of 2018, and since then I have really enjoyed joining my students for the three day long intensive workshop, and have been... Continue Reading →
Today I worked on a very unique, very odd, but definitely enjoyable photojournalism assignment. Chief Raoni Metuktire, a Brazilian leader and environmentalist visited the UK to engage in a series of talks regarding the cause he has championed since as early as the 1950's.

Participants must acclimatise themselves to the cold across the year,... Continue Reading →
I recently returned from a trip to India, where I had travelled with the specific goal of creating photographs. During my time there I photographed entirely on 35mm film across three cameras: my Leica M6, Nikon FM2, and Olympus XA. I shot 23 rolls in total, which breaks down to 18x black and white rolls,...

India is one of the most iconic destinations for photography, offering something to any and every genre anyone would care to explore. As a street and documentary photographer it was sort of inevitable that I would end up in India at some point, so I decided to make my first trip sooner rather than later.... Continue Reading →
When I was shooting the majority of my photographs digitally I enjoyed filming short BTS clips on my phone, to show the environment in the moment, and then show what the image looked like on the back of my camera - to demonstrate that nothing had been posed or photoshopped, and to show how the...
