The Woods
For the past 2 years I’ve been working on a new body of work about the woods next to my house. The resulting images have allowed me to explore how we relate to the abandoned rural landscape in Britain today. Formally a quarry, the woods have been left to grow unchecked for at least the [...]
Whitworth Talk
For anyone in Manchester, I’m giving a talk at the Whitworth Art Gallery again this Saturday as part of their Alternative Camera Club program. For those who met me there in late January it’ll be pretty much the same run through of my work but I am in the midst of editing my latest piece [...]

This is great news and I’m honoured to join a long list of friends from both previous years [...]
Portfolio Catalogue
I’m really pleased to announce that my work has been included in the latest issue of Portfolio Catalogue. This is amazing news for me.

Fresh Faced and Wild Eyed 09
Well I have had an interesting week of it with trips back and forth to the Photographer’s Gallery in London. “The reason?”, I hear you ask… Well I have been part of a group exhibition showcasing who they deemed the most interesting graduates from the past 12 months on British photographic courses (I know, my [...]

Binhai Xi Lu 25th October 2008
Bit late updating this but thought I would add a little about a shoot I did last weekend. I finally manged to make some images along the coastal road Binhai Xi Lu, or West Binhai Road if you prefer. The one part of the actual road I wanted with the painted tarmac and blue lamppost [...]
Zoo 17th October 2008
Just some more images from the zoo, same shoot as from the images in the previous post but these are destined to live with the work I have been doing over the past few months in relation to the animals who live there.
Viewpoints
As mentioned in a previous post, I’ve started a new project focusing on the positions and structures used for viewing captive animals in an attempt to yet further try to understand our perverted relationship with the natural world. Not much else to write about this yet, but here are a few images all made in [...]
Golden Pebble Beach 26th August 2008
Despite the fact that we should have finished shooting by now the weather looked right this morning with that light white cloud that keeps things looking interesting and yet holds back the shadows well. With this in mind I went on the mission I have been putting off and went exploring Golden Pebble Beach (Jinshitan) [...]
And the cloud arrives!!! 29th July 2008
So I wake up today and thank god it’s grey and cloudy at last! By the time I get my shit together it has just started spitting with rain of course but oh well, it’s far enough to Thames town from where I am staying on West Yan’an Road that there is a chance I [...]
Tiger Beach, Dalian Friday 17th July
Weather was a bit too hazy today but went out with Nick again and convinced him to come down to Tiger Beach to check it out. Didn’t pay to go into the main area because it was afternoon by then and the place isn’t exactly cheap –will save the main area for a day with [...]
David Robinson
Not posted anything for a while so thought I would make a quick mention of the work of David Robinson -another photographer I knew when I was living in London. His work on the leisure landscape is interesting especially in light of my own recent work and comes firmly out of the tradition of contemporary [...]
Vantage Points
I’ve been messing about in Lightroom and made a test gallery on the work I did for, “The Yellow Sea and Me” book to see how the lightroom templates look. This is all in the aid of actually having a simple yet effective homepage showcase for my images. Have a look at the following link [...]
