About – Photography

I’m a Photographer, Musician and Tutor from South Yorkshire.

I’ve always had a passion for landscape photography and the great outdoors. My images are influenced by both my background and interests in travel and the environment.

Over time I’ve devloped a preference for black & white over colour and natural light and locations over a studio. My work is produced mainly on 35mm and 120 film.

Born and raised in South Yorkshire and now living in Calderdale, West Yorkshire,  my work showcases the best of this county, as well as covering much of the UK and Europe. With the Pennines and North Yorkshire right on my doorstep, I hope to draw inspiration from this gorgeous part of the country and from the people I meet. I have explored many styles over the past eight years, Macro, Portrait and Street but my heart always goes back to Landscape photography.

I have exhibited in local and national galleries and have featured in Digital Photographer and Digital SLR User magazines. My work has also been used at various musical events both as projections and for publicity materials, Album covers and posters. More recently I have produced works for local companies and private individuals.

All of my photographs are available to purchase. I print all of my photographs using state of the art digital Ink and all images are fine art giclee prints on 300gsm photo rag / german etching paper.

Image Licensing

If you are interested in licensing my work, a selection of my images are now available though Millenium Images.

Gear

I am certainly a firm believer that it is the photographer not the camera that makes a great shot. People often ask so I though I’d give a quick run down on what I currently use.

My digital kit comprises of a Leica M10, Fuji Xpro 2, various Fuji  X lenses along with the Seven5 Lee Filter system and Nisi Filter System.  On the film front I own a Hasselblad 501c, Leica M6 with a 28mm Elmarit, 50mm Summicron and toy cameras including a Holga, a Diana black jack + and pinhole cameras.
