– Township

'Craven Arms, Welcome to the Marches' road sign

Township is an occasional but ongoing project to capture the continued evolution of the small Shropshire town of Craven Arms (once known as Newton Township) recording subtle changes to the built environment, changes in the natural environment and the changing of the seasons.

– Markings

RBL Standards and Banners at the D-Day 70 Commemorations

Markings is a longterm piece of work that has evolved out of ‘The Unreturning’ – a smaller project that focused on Remembrance and which took its name from a poem by Wilfred Owen, the First World War poet from Shropshire.

– Lost Content

'In memory of' memorial bench by the River Onny

Lost Content is a semi-autobiographical project exploring the cultural and literary landscape of Shropshire – the history, myths and legends that have shaped the county and which run much deeper than just the nostalgic poems of A E Housman

– Anxious Journey 

Anxious Journey is more of a style than a project. It is mainly travel or journey based photography that has been influenced by the pre 1919 metaphysical art style (Italian: pittura metafisica) developed by the Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978).
