It was the firstContinueContinue reading “From The Archives: 18 November 2020”

Tidal Topographics – new set

Something a little different from what may be expected of me. But it was only inevitable that eventually my move away from the city to live by the coast, here in Somerset, would impact and change what I would photograph.

This is Weston-super-Mare (series)

I’m delighted to say that my ongoing ‘This is Weston-super-Mare’ series is now live on the site. Having moved from London to Weston in April, 2021, I have been photographing this old and faded Victorian seaside town ever since. But not the cliched picture pretty postcard views of sunsets over the pier or cheesy cuteContinueContinue reading “This is Weston-super-Mare (series)”
