About
Photographer specialising in portraiture and fine art. Based in Manchester, working throughout the UK.
________________________________
I’m in love with the aesthetic and allure of analogue photography. Alongside analogue and digital photography, I work with alternative processes such as hand colouring, cyanotype, and photopolymer gravure. I’m drawn to the tactile nature of the photographic processes that I use, and by the space they allow for experimentation, unpredictability and chance.
Working with people has always been the most important element to my practice, the part that breathes life into the work. The body is my anchor, my blank canvas, my attachment to reality.
