I started taking photographs while I was a student at
Oxford University. After a year’s postgraduate course at the London
College of Printing, I set off with my camera to explore the world. Two years later, I
landed up in New York, and spent the next four years training in the studios of some of that city’s most prestigious advertising photographers. After returning to England, I
specialised in the photography of my favourite subject matter - landscape, architecture and gardens. My pictures have appeared in most of the major magazines in
Europe and the US, and among many other book projects, I was commissioned to illustrate a series of travel books for Thames and Hudson, details of which
you can see on the Publications page. For the last five of these, I also wrote the text. Three years ago I started photographing the extraordinary effects of light on water surfaces, and showed triptychs of these images, printed on watercolour paper, at Artweeks 2009. Encouraged by the response, I spent two years working out how to produce larger images in a medium that would suit the subject matter. Artweeks 2011 saw the debut of my silk hangings/banners, details of which you can see here.
