Photography made slowly, between Prague and Calais.

Seen from directly overhead, a chain of wooden rowing boats lies moored nose to tail across deep blue-green water that is mirroring a sky full of cloud.

The Practice

Look longer, keep less

A commission usually begins on foot, looking for what the light is doing before deciding what the picture is. Most frames never leave the contact sheet. The ones that do are made to hold up in print, and to still be worth looking at a year later.

Selected Work

A few frames that stayed

A lone figure in a dark hooded coat stands on a broad shelf of wet rock, facing a row of jagged mountain peaks across a grey sea under a low bank of sunset cloud.

An empty two-lane road curves away between snow banks, flanked by frost-covered pines and birches under a pale blue winter sky.

On a wide sandy beach at sunset, a woman with her arms around a man's neck laughs with her head thrown back, her hair blown across the frame, the low sun flaring behind him.

A narrow wooden jetty runs straight away from the viewer across a frozen, snow-dusted lake, its far end dissolving into white fog where the shoreline should be.

A row of varnished wooden rowing boats lies moored side by side on a still alpine lake of deep teal water, which is holding the reflection of a pale limestone face and dark conifer forest.
