about

I'm a photographer based in brighton, UK and the ambition of this site is to capture my home town.

I predominantly shoot in black and white, but there is a sparing allowance for colour where the frame needs it to tell the full story. my projects are continually in flow, and this site is always evolving. some are the very obvious brighton subjects that everyone will know, but others are more obscure angles of the city.

Regards my shot style, I quietly capture people moving through a frame going about their lives... it's a discreet street photography, where subjects are unaware and uninterrupted, and rely more on the incidental flow of human traffic. sometimes this is an unpredictable split second moment that is shot on the spot... others, I will intentionally find my frame, set-up... and wait for the composition to build itself. it can also mean setting a frame where a picture never materialises, leaving locations empty handed, but that is the hit and miss beauty of street. there are certainly days where the bag is packed and i head out to shoot... but not a single photo is taken. to me, it can't be ordered or scheduled and instead is driven by mood and serendipity.

I hope you love the site, especially for brightonians who know and walk these locations. please give me a follow on IG, drop me a comment below to say hi... and all comments, questions and feedback is very welcome. all my prints are available, the site is regularly updated and I always have a couple projects on the go. if you happen to have an idea for me... shoot it over.
