I am a London-based photographer whose work explores the relationship between people, infrastructure and the environments they inhabit.
After a career as a journalist and non-fiction author, I turned to photography as a way of examining how large systems - architecture, planning, environmental management and urban change - are experienced in everyday life. Over time, these concerns have converged on the River Thames, which has become the central subject of my photographic practice and an ongoing lens through which I explore infrastructure, landscape and everyday life.
My work is held in the collections of The London Archives, the British Library and the Bishopsgate Institute.
Between the City and the Sea is an ongoing long-term study of the River Thames and its changing environments. The project follows the river as a place of work, leisure, habitation and transformation, observing how everyday life unfolds within landscapes shaped by long-term change. The photographs below form an evolving selection from this ongoing body of work.
