I originally trained as a jeweller and having worked as such for over 30 years, I always used photography as a design tool. A few years ago I decided to train more formally in photography and am now making pictures full time. The photographic work here shows a variety of subject matter, from landscapes through portraits to abstract images. I am primarily interested in my immediate environment and choose to make photographs that reflect this in an unusual way. Closely observed familiar places become mysterious and unfamiliar when photographed. I have also been making narratives, combining the subjects of travel, domestic environments and landscapes in an often unusual way to reflect particular places and moods. They are usually commissioned and this provides me with an interesting challenge, making images for specific clients and spaces. These narrative 'strips' are sometimes horizontal and at other times vertical, depending on their final destination within a home or office. The finished images can be small or as large as 3.0 metres and are usually printed on paper and mounted on either MDF or a thin board, not usually framed, before being hung on the wall. They are ideally suited to office spaces, restaurants, and hotels as well as private homes and studios. As a photographer I am often called upon to work on other subjects and have recently been photographing craftsmen at work and other activities, hoping always to give a more unusual portrait view.
