As a street photographer, I take an observational view of how our present circumstances govern our behavior individually and in crowds. Adhering to the rules of candid street photography, I often 'build' shots by waiting for satisfactory outcomes in real time. Extensively, I’ve used photographic layering to make a comment about aspects of human behavior in cities. It’s a particular technique I’ve chosen, to make a body of work which, I feel, gives visual expression to the human condition now.

I was born in Dundee, Scotland. I shuttle between London, where I spent most of my adult life, and Norfolk, where I live now.  I became interested in photography by degrees, at first using it as a means to assist in painting which I studied at art college. I’ve taken photographs ever since, working professionally for a while as an architectural photographer. My foray into street photography came about almost accidentally as a sideline to the large format architectural photographs I was shooting for clients. Slowly, I began to realise that this was something I could do on my own terms.
