I photograph spaces in transition — where light shifts, people move, and architecture comes to life. My practice bridges documentary and commissioned work, united by a focus on observation, change, and everyday beauty
Back to Normal documents everyday life across London during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, capturing moments of resilience and quiet connection amid uncertainty. Supported by Arts Council England, the project has been acquired by the City of London’s London Archive as part of the city’s collective memory.
Whitechapel Market documents a neighbourhood in transition, where new transport links, housing and civic buildings are reshaping one of London’s most diverse areas. At its heart, the historic market continues to reflect the community’s resilience amid rapid change.
Commissioned by Allies and Morrison, Light, Movement, Architecture was photographed in October 2025 following the announcement that the London College of Fashion had been shortlisted for the Stirling Prize. The series captures the building as a living, inhabited space — a work of art animated by light, movement, and human presence.
Between the City and the Sea documents the changing eastern Thames — a landscape where new development meets tidal marsh, wildlife, and industry. Once public, much of this riverside is now shifting into private hands, reshaping how the river is lived with and seen.

Originally a journalist and author, I came to photography in my forties and quickly found a new way to tell stories - through observation rather than words. My practice focuses on environments at moments of transition - places being used, reimagined, or newly alive with change.
Alongside self-initiated projects supported by Arts Council England, I undertake commissions that share this same sensibility. Recent work for Allies and Morrison, for instance, explored the London College of Fashion as a “living building.”
My photographs have been exhibited internationally and are held in the permanent collections of the City of London, the Bishopsgate Institute, and the British Library. My first major project, Back to Normal — documenting life in London during the pandemic — was published as a book and distributed to libraries across the UK.
I welcome commissioned projects that explore how people, architecture, and change coexist through light and everyday life.
