Travel, street and everyday life photography
This is the chapter I shoot for myself. Street photography and cityscapes from San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Costa Rica sit alongside Birmingham after dark and a lockdown diary from spring 2020, when the roads around Bearwood and Quinton fell silent.
Most of it is black and white, and most of it is about light: a cable car blurring up the Powell and Hyde line, the Bean reflecting Chicago at night, a single yellow cab on Sixth Avenue, thank-you notes to the NHS in shop windows. Each place has its own story below.
If a frame catches your eye for a print or for licensing, get in touch and we can talk it through.
