Website redesign
Welcome to my new and improved website, displaying more photographs than was possible before. Most of these are currently available as limited edition prints in the studio gallery; others I print to order. There is also a news / blog here which I should be able to update more easily and where you can comment if you wish. Please do let me know if you spot any glitches in the site. Thank you.

Polaroid trees
Endings is a new series of Polaroid photographs that marks both the loss of street trees felled in Sheffield’s controversial highways maintenance project, and the end of the age of instant peel-apart film.
