A British photographer, married to a Venetian, and who has lived, worked and photographed in and around Venice for nearly 20 years. 

 

Interests cover street photography, abstraction, portraiture, close-up and long exposure work and examples of projects have also been published in print magazines including Amateur Photographer magazine (January/September 2024), Black & White Photography Magazine and Digital Photographer magazine (December 2024) where I was featured under their Photo CV section.  I was also shortlisted for the Black & White Magazine Photographer of the Year in 2018 and for the British Photography Awards in 2020.   My shot, ​​​​​​'Reflected Bell Tower' was also published in 'Dream of Venice in Black and White' by Bella Figure Publications  in September 2018.   In  2024, I  was also selected as one of 10 shortlisted photographers for Milan-based 'The Street Soup' Monochrome exhibition and included in the accompanying book.

​

I have also held three solo exhibitions in Venice:  Caigo (Venetian Fog) in 2024,  Venice Street Geometry in February 2025 and Biennale People in October/November 2025. All were held at Kunst Depot Venezia (www.veneziakunstdepot.com), proved highly successful and have led to further exposure and future collaborations. 

​

Commercial work includes photo shoots for marketing and media content, as well as covering events, performances and shows.  I have also shot editorial and commercial stock images for Getty Images and Shutterstock, with material published globally through various media outlets including the BBC, The Guardian and the Financial Times.  

​​​​​​

My essential kit is designed for portability and ease of handling without compromising image quality.  In any working day, I carry a Fujifilm X-E3 or Fujifilm X-T5 and normally a small zoom (Fujinon 10-24mm f4), and/or a Fujinon prime lens ranging from 23mm, 35mm or 56mm, depending on what I am seeking.  My current favourite set up is to shoot with a fast 23mm (f1.4) lens on the X-E3 which is a light set up and gives an equivalent field of view of a full frame/film 35mm lens.  I also shoot using the iPhone 15 which has proven to be highly versatile with exceptional image quality.   I also shoot with film, using an Pentax ME SLR and Olympus mju II f2.8 compact and often use the Pentax-M manual prime lenses mounted on a Fujifilm body which provides a nice blend of analogue/digital media for increased creativity, slowing things down and isolating elements with manual focus.
