Projects

I am a street photographer based in Reading UK. My work focuses on candid human stories

My creative process involves placing myself where compelling images might find me. At the same time, I nurture the belief that they will. Over the years, I have developed several ongoing projects. Among these, the Square Mile stands out. In fact, it is my longest-running project, spanning from 2018 to 2024. Even though I am still unsure whether it is truly finished, it continues to shape my vision. Furthermore, each project shows my dedication to capturing authentic compositions.

It’s worth noting that a subjective, indifferent, mysterious world is a safer place to be than a cold, objective, exacting one – at least where art is concerned.
My pictures represent a time in my life where they became the safest place for me, a place that offered enchantment and promise.
On reflection, I am moved by this rechannelling of energies and misappropriation of time.
