I love people, I love what they do and the interests they have and what they bring to my life by letting me briefly into theirs. These are just a few of the results, some personal, some commissioned, some recent, some old.

Collected here are a few of the images I have taken over a very long career. Some were taken very recently some a long time ago.

I have grouped these together under this title to identify a particular genre which incorporates everything from landscapes taken in Africa whilst documenting big game hunting to portraits taken in Wales and Scotland whilst documenting pheasant and partridge shooting. In each case the pictures were taken for private clients.

Industry takes many forms and I have been lucky enough to see behind the scenes of a number of businesses from heavy industry to commerce. This is a small selection.

As a photographer I take pictures all of the time. Some of these pictures are as part of ongoing series or a particular idea I have, some are just taken for the pleasure of looking and sharing. These are grouped here but overlap with other, more specific projects.

Sometimes I end up in front of the camera, not very often and usually not of my choosing. These are a few of the times when the process of making the picture became a picture in itself.

A photograph usually takes the form of an image taken from a viewpoint often a western viewpoint and one often privileged. The exhibition Horizons (Moriana was the Subtitle of this exhibition) situates photography at a point in which the media was saturated with negative images of migrants. I visited the city of Florence during this period and was working on an extended project about the hidden/visible using Deleuze’s theory of The Fold (Deleuze, 1993) and Foucault’s Panopticon (Foucault, 1977). The metaphor of the horizon served as both a limiting device and a widely used idiom for expansion and possibility. Each perspective chosen folds within it the possibility of the other and each image explores this idea. The work was generated in response to an offer to exhibit my work at the prestigious SACI Gallery In Florence (The link is a new website which has not archived previous exhibitions) I proposed to produce a series of images in response to Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. (Calvino, 1979) The intention was to examine what is mean by the word horizon in the context of seeing and how this relates to the dichotomy of limit and possibility. Calvino’s book takes the form of a number of conversations between by the young explorer Marco Polo and the aging Emperor Kublai Khan about places he has visited but serve as parables for human experience. With Italy being the first destination for most of the migrants was a perfect place in which to explore this subject. Calvino deals with dialectic perspective and the way in which our individual, often binary beliefs, direct our understanding of what we see. I use photography in this way, through the use of Colour/Black and White. The black and white images take a traditional view of the notion of Horizon by looking at a number of visual triggers such as the port and the plastic found floating in the sea (an ecological horizon) as well as the social exclusion found in some buildings (open only those who can mount steps or negotiate gates).

This series is a part of the development of my PhD which examines the edges of flash photographs, the borders between what is of interest and central to the process and what is left over as the light falls away leaving an uneasy feeling of something missing.

New Territories is an ongoing project which examines the way in which space is occupied and how these territories are sometimes contested in a small and sometimes insignificant way. Where boundaries are slowly but inexorably moved.
