Print of the Month June 2023 Shapeshifter No. 4 Photograph 2018 Manchester, UK Print on A3 paper, Edition of 25 In 2018, a good friend (and an exceptional photographer) shared with me some images he had made of a very special place. I knew right away that I simply had to go there and create my own photographs. Although the location (which I’m keeping secret, for now) is only a couple of hours from our home in the Midlands of the UK, the logistics proved challenging. Being in a city centre, transportation and parking were of concern. But more important was the fact that this is a very public—a ..read more

Ruth and I had been to Plymouth a few times before, and during one of our trips discovered the beautiful and historic Sutton Harbour. I absolutely love seaside and maritime environments, especially for my abstract photography. While wandering around the docks, I encountered huge stacks of lobster and crab pots, all stacked up and wrapped with cling film. The rain and sun combined to create wonder ..read more

Print of the Month November 2023 Autumn in Central Park New York City Print on A3 paper, Edition of 25 £35 GBP Something a little less abstract for this month … New York City is magical in every season but autumn is special, particularly in and around Central Park.

Print of the Month August 2023 Eternal Cycles Maine, USA Print on A3 paper, Edition of 25 Visiting New England, USA during the autumn can be a magical experience for photographers. Many years ago, I was in Maine attending a workshop given by American photographer John Paul Caponigro—a fantastic experience in many ways. After the workshop I enjoyed a few days of photography on my own. I had been practising and experimenting with ICM (intentional camera movement) for a few years at that point, having been particularly inspired by the earlier work of nature photographer William Neill. I’d seen h ..read more
