About

I photograph ordinary places, mainly in Britain.

I’m interested in the everyday landscape: shopfronts, industrial buildings, infrastructure and the small alterations that accumulate as places are used. I’m drawn to places that are still functioning but carry visible traces of change, neglect and earlier lives.

I usually work in a direct, observational way, looking for relationships between colour, objects, architecture and the people who pass through these environments. A discarded chair, an improvised repair or a barrier in an unexpected place can make a familiar setting feel strange again. Rather than seeking out landmarks or dramatic subjects, I’m interested in the overlooked arrangements that become familiar enough to stop being noticed.

The photographs are about how ordinary places look after people, businesses and time have left their marks on them.
