A new look to my website. I’ll be adding a shop soon so you can buy signed prints, books and zines direct rather than emailing me.

A high-contrast, black-and-white photograph captured from a low angle, showing three silhouetted figures standing on a wide set of outdoor steps next to a modern building. One figure is positioned behind a professional video camera on a tripod, appearing to film the other two individuals who are standing together in conversation. To the right, the glass facade of a contemporary building reflects the light, with a balcony visible on an upper floor. In the background, a calm body of water stretches toward a distant shoreline with rolling hills under a vast, bright sky filled with scattered, fluffy clouds. A dark chain-link fence runs along the water's edge to the left. The composition is minimalist and moody, emphasizing the silhouettes against the bright, expansive landscape.

A monochrome photograph of the interior of a narrow bus station with floor-to-ceiling windows. On the left, the glass doors to the parking bays have large numerals applied to their centres. The afternoon sun casts shadows of the numbers 4, 3, and 2 onto the tiled floor. On the right, three people await transportation: a standing man looks into the lens, and two people (one sitting on the floor) stare into handheld devices.

A low-angle shot of the Gothic interior of Sint-Janskerk, Gouda. The image highlights the famous 16th-century stained-glass windows, stone pillars, soft shadows and the reflective grey floor tiles, with a person in a blue coat providing a sense of scale.

A high-contrast, black and white photograph captured from an elevated perspective behind a dark, out-of-focus metal railing with a spherical finial. In the middle ground, a kayaker in dark gear navigates turbulent, churning whitewater. The kayaker is mid-stroke, holding a paddle aloft as the small boat is partially submerged by frothing waves. The background shows a wider expanse of the dark, textured river and a low weir where the water cascades down, creating a line of white foam across the upper third of the frame. The composition uses a shallow depth of field, emphasizing the intensity of the water and the lone kayaker against the dark, rippling surface of the river.

A high-contrast, black and white photograph of the interior of the Dumfries railway station waiting room at night, viewed through a window. The scene is moody and atmospheric, with deep shadows and sharp highlights. A row of empty, modern metal benches runs along the bottom left, partially illuminated by light streaming in from a large window at the far end of the narrow room. The right wall is adorned with several framed pictures of varying sizes, their glass surfaces catching reflections. A large reflection on the right foreground window shows the station platform and lights outside, creating a layered, translucent effect. The composition is linear, leading the eye down the dark corridor toward the bright window at the end, which reveals a glimpse of the station's architecture and outdoor lighting.

An almost B&W photo (but not!) of waves receding over some rocks on a black sand beach. In the distance are some mountain peaks under thick grey cloud, the tops obscured.

Even without the mountains showing, Stokksnes is still really special. Bit obsessed with these rocks!

Our photograph looks down over a quiet railway station from the vantage point of a bridge. The viewer is positioned directly above the tracks, looking straight along them as they stretch into the distance.

Two parallel railway tracks run from the bottom center of the image toward the horizon, creating strong lines that guide the eye forward. 

On either side of the tracks are narrow platforms edged with bright yellow safety lines. The platforms appear empty and calm, with a few small details such as benches and railings visible along their edges.

A decorative metal footbridge crosses the tracks about halfway down the scene. Its lattice-style sides form a delicate pattern, casting faint shadows onto the platforms below. 

Beyond this bridge, another overpass or structure sits further in the distance, adding depth to the scene.

To the right side of the station stands a row of traditional houses with white walls and dark roofs. 

Several tall chimneys rise from the rooftops, their shapes silhouetted slightly against the sky. A stone wall runs along the platform beneath these houses, giving the station an old, sturdy character.

On the left side are lower buildings and station structures with slanted roofs that catch a faint glimmer of light. Fencing lines the platform edges, separating the station from the surrounding area.

Dominating the upper part of the image is a brilliant sun set high in a deep blue sky. The sunlight radiates outward in long, sharp beams, creating a dramatic starburst effect. 

The brightness of the sun contrasts strongly with the darker foreground, making the tracks and station appear partially in shadow.

In the far distance beyond the station, the landscape opens into fields and a line of bare trees along the horizon, suggesting a rural or small-town setting. 

The overall mood is peaceful and still. An empty station resting beneath a powerful winter sun. 

Finally, our picture is finished with a white border frame.
