I am a photographer whose work explores lived space, infrastructure, and the quiet social life of buildings and landscapes.

After a career as a journalist and bestselling non-fiction author, I came to photography in my forties, bringing with me a deep engagement with narrative, systems, and observation developed through years of investigative work. This background continues to inform a photographic practice rooted in sustained looking rather than spectacle.

My first major photographic project, Back to Normal - a long-term documentation of life in London during the COVID-19 pandemic - was supported by an Arts Council England grant and published as a photobook in 2021. The project was acquired by public collections and marked my full transition to photography as my primary medium.

I have since developed a body of work focused on the relationship between people, architecture and the structures that organise 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. Between the City and the Sea is a long-term study of the river which examines the Thames as a corridor of continual transformation where large-scale systems and everyday experience intersect.

I also work with architects and cultural institutions, including a commissioned body of work for Allies and Morrison, documenting their projects through a people-centred, documentary approach to architectural photography. Whitechapel Market, a major photographic project documenting one of London’s most historic street markets at a moment of profound change, will be exhibited at Tower Hamlets Town Hall in the autumn of 2026.
