About

Trained as an architect before moving into a career in education, I’ve always been involved with photography, black and white analogue with my Canon AE1 dominating the seventies and eighties before embracing digital in the noughties, after a hiatus when raising a family.

Having travelled extensively during the 2010s and shooting a wide range of genres, 2022 brought about an abrupt end to my photographic ventures; my wife had a major operation following a second cancer diagnosis, resulting in my becoming, in effect, a full-time carer.

With opportunities few and far between and stolen moments becoming the norm, as the book ‘glimpses from the viewport’ suggests, I had to reassess my practice and gear. Living in a provincial town but with London within reach, I focussed on all things urban, embracing street, fine art and abstract photography- black & white or colour– any genre allowing me to explore the everyday world whether it be ‘a decisive moment’ or juxtaposition of elements or images infused with humour, social comment, or just, what I consider, beauty.

With such a limited palette, I am not expecting to find images that ‘shout’ but, as Duane Michals said, ‘I want my photographs to whisper’…

...hopefully you can hear them...
