I am a London-based photographer whose work explores how people inhabit landscapes shaped by infrastructure, architecture and environmental change.
After a career as a journalist and non-fiction author, I turned to photography to examine 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 focus of my practice.
My work is held in the collections of The London Archives, the British Library and the Bishopsgate Institute. My current project, Between the City and the Sea, is being developed into a photobook by Kehrer Verlag and will be accompanied by a programme of exhibitions and public events.
Between the City and the Sea is a long-term photographic study of the Thames and its changing environments. The work observes the river as a place of labour, leisure, habitation and continual transformation, exploring how everyday life unfolds within landscapes shaped by industry, infrastructure and slow, often imperceptible change. The photographs below form an evolving selection from this ongoing body of work.
