About

Currently based in Beijing, China. I am a British freelance photographer specialising in travel and documentary photography.

I finished a 1 year paid internship at Magnum Photos in their London office in 2005. Prior to this I graduated from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England in Zoology. My current photographic projects stem from my interests in social and environmental issues in Asia, with specific emphasis on China. I have however lived and worked on 4 continents, spending extended periods of time in countries as diverse as Japan, Brazil, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.

I received a travel grant from Magnum to begin my work in China in 2005 and subsequently received sponsorship from FujiFilmUK in 2006, from the David Alan Harvey Fund for Emerging Photographers in 2008 and the Pulitzer Center On Crisis Reporting in 2009.

My work has appeared in print with publications including The Guardian, The Age, The Globe & Mail, Die Zeit, The British Journal of Photography, The Sunday Herald Magazine and The Ecologist. My notable online publications also include work with BBC News Online, Asia Society, openDemocracy.net, China Dialogue and The Digital Journalist.

I am available for editorial/corporate/advertising commissions through my contact details above. If you have any questions about me or my work, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

How would you hang this Exhibition?

Ls’ers, I’d like you thoughts on something.

I’ve been invited to have an exhibition next week which will showcase 48 images from my work on desertification in China at a Science and Technology Conference in Inner Mongolia.

The details of the space I have available have been sent through to me at the very last minute and I am trying to brainstorm ways to hang this exhibition in an effective way.

I have been informed that I will have 40 wooden boards, measuring 120cm x 80cm, almost like an artist’s sketching easel, standing on wooden legs.

The prints aren’t going to be able to be framed in the time we have, so also I need to find a way to ‘stick’ the prints to the boards. Pins? Double-sided tape? Needs to look professional either way.

I have 24hours for ideas before I head to the printers. If you have any ideas at all, or have experience with hanging in similar conditions, please do let me know your thoughts.

Many thanks in advance!
