I have been making photographic images since 2008. My images are made by simple means and I do not use expensive equipment or maintain a studio. The photographic prints I make are small, intimate in scale and thoughtful in material. My art practice has been steadily expanding from street photography to more conceptual and experiential photographic projects in recent years. I have a series of projects extending beyond photography into sculpture and installation being prepared for 2023 which expand on the explorations and themes present in my photography.
