I’m based in London and have been a photographer for over 20 years, specialising in artistic urban landscape photography. With my work I explore the atmospheric, surreal and sometimes dark side of city existence. I like to use photography as a visual way of creating and conveying sensory impressions.
I use a variety of techniques including mobile photography, digital pinhole photography, and infrared.
