Personal Notebook and Photographic Journal
How long should it take for an artist to produce their "life's work?" I think it can be easy to overlook the fact that when you pick up an excellent photo-book; for example "Steve McCurry Untold: The Stories Behind the Photographs" which is 264 pages long, you are holding four decades worth of work. Even a... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I discovered that a very photogenic piece of performance art, called "Bodies in Urban Spaces" was being performed in London, and that today would be the last few sessions. I actually attended the one at 12:30, but shot only film, and decided to return again for the last one which started at 17:30 but... Continue Reading →
Well, so much for the rest day I promised myself yesterday. I managed to have a good easy morning, a calm walk to the post box to send away some film, and got through a few episodes of Mob Psycho 100II which I'm catching on - but between episodes I was alerted to the fact... Continue Reading →

It's always great shooting side-by-side with Benji, and it was really magical hearing about his experiences as well as seeing some of the photographs he hasn't posted yet (spoiler, they're all really good!).

Today was one of those almost annoyingly necessary days where I went out and shot a lot of images but don't feel like I produced anything really worthwhile. I started in Leadenhall Market where I was actually just waiting for the light to be right in order to capture a scene I tried to photograph... Continue Reading →
I recently noticed something about the way some of my recent images are composed, that I think is worth talking about so that I can further understand why I made the decisions I did that connect these photographs.That similarity is in the way they incorporate strong vertical bars, or lines, which dissect the image into...
