Portraiture

A selection of my best portraits. From the wierd to the wonderful, colouful and dark. I've explored all different emotions and ideas here for you to interpret to your hearts desire.....

Event Photography

Some of my best shots taken at various events around the country

Glass Work

A personal project that began as a university project based on the work of Dave Nitchse but developed into my own style.

Club & Gig Photography

Most of these shots were taken at The Engine Shed, Lincoln's biggest club and concert venue. Some big names like Rizzle Kicks, Noah and the Whale, DJ Fresh and  Zane Lowe have appeared there. 

Capturing Sequences

For my latest project at university I wanted to explore temporality and conveying a number of moments within a single image pushing the boundaries of a photograph being of a single frozen moment.

Signs 10th November 2010 Documentary Project

For one of my projects in the 2nd year of university I did a project about signs and went to the student protests in London over the rise in tuition fees. This is a selection of the images from the event.

Bits & Bobs From Here & There...

This is a selection of my best images that don't really fit in my collections but I'm still happy enough to show

Published work

This section is dedicated to work that has been published online or in print. As you will see I have had work shown in magazines, newspapers and even on local news!

HDR Work inc HDR Panoramas

I have been working on HDR images and have tried taking panoramas to the extreme at the same time. Some of these images are made from up to 16 separate images stitched together.
