I make photographs about movement, atmosphere, and the feeling of being in a place, not just what it looks like.

Most of my work comes from the coast. I am drawn to the edge where land, sea, and weather collide, and where an image can be simplified, stretched, or pushed into abstraction. The Outer Hebrides and the Cornish coastline are where I spend most of my time. They reward patience and punish rushing & quite I like that.

Before photography became my main focus, I spent over 25 years working in film, TV, and advertising as a visual effects artist. That background still shapes how I see, in the way I compose, how I handle tone and contrast, and how much attention I give to the finished image, not just the moment it was taken.

I started photographing seriously in 2012 as a way to get outside and slow down. In 2017, I began running workshops, and teaching quickly became part of the work rather than something alongside it. Spending time with other photographers, watching how they approach a scene, where they hesitate, and what helps things click, changed how I think about photography. It stripped away habits I did'nt need and sharpened the ones that mattered.

That experience pushed me further toward seascapes and intentional camera movement, where instinct, timing, and decision making matter more than rules. It also shaped how I work with people.

Today, I run small photography workshops across the UK, usually with just three to five participants. They are informal, practical, and built around the individuals taking part. There are no generic classroom sessions and no fixed formula. I spend time with each person, working through camera setup, technique, creative choices, and post processing in a way that makes sense for them.

We shoot, we review, we talk. We slow things down.

My aim is to help you understand why you are making an image, not just how. Confidence comes from clarity, and clarity comes from paying attention to light, to movement, and to your own instincts.

That is what my work is about. And that is how I teach.
