I have been taking photographs since 1993, and have always been fascinated by the urban environment and the unique atmosphere of cities. My lens is attracted to the evidence people leave behind in city spaces and how these remnants relate to people sharing those spaces. This was an approach I developed during my studies in ethnology and the anthropology of culture. From this I learned that everything that can be discovered in the most exotic places in the world is also waiting to be found in the everyday cityscape around us.
For a number of years I was involved in other branches of the arts and culture, working in the media and advertising as a radio journalist, copy writer, media buyer and consultant. Outside work I also worked on a number of projects with art galleries and other institutions. I have developed a keen interest in information technologies and digital photography. However, I have never been persuaded to give up experimenting with film, which I still regard as possessing a magical quality. Although I am comfortable with using digital cameras, for preference I still use a 35mm SLR and 120mm twin-lens reflex camera.
I publish my artwork on http://www.halo-photo.com
and have established http://www.photo-graphers.co.uk in order to develop my commercial wedding and portrait photography profile.
