I live and work in Nottinghamshire, where I walk streets, markets and everyday places in search of quiet moments. I’m a black-and-white photographer fascinated by how people move, work, rest and connect — what they do, how they are, and the marks they leave behind.
My ongoing project, What People Do?, explores everyday life through three threads: hands & tools at work, candid life in public spaces, and informal portraits that reveal character and connection. Alongside it, Human Footprints reflects on the traces people leave — the spaces shaped or abandoned by human presence.
I’m currently expanding What People Do? and invite anyone who’d like to take part. If you’d be happy for me to photograph you — at work, at leisure, or simply in an informal portrait session — I’d love to hear from you.
There’s no charge: you’ll receive around six finished black-and-white images from the shoot, and I’ll be able to include selected photos in my public portfolio to show what everyday people do.
If that resonates, take a look around the galleries — or get in touch if you’d like to be photographed.
