Process
How the work actually runs
- 1
Arrive early
Weeks before the story breaks, while nobody has decided what it means yet.
- 2
Stay late
The frames worth keeping are almost always from the third year, not the first week.
- 3
Edit hard
Sixty-eight frames from four thousand. The edit is most of the work.
- 4
Print it
Editioned and signed, on paper chosen for that series rather than a house default.

Who the work was for
Before you get in touch
Are prints editioned?
Yes, in editions of fifteen at 40x50cm and seven at 70x100cm, signed and numbered on the reverse with a certificate.
Do you take commissions?
Editorial and documentary work, yes. I do not shoot weddings, products or corporate portraits, and I will point you at someone who does.
Can I license an image?
Most frames are available for editorial licensing. Send the publication, the territory and the run and I will quote.
How long does a series take?
Low Water is in its fourth year. Last Shift took three. If you need pictures next month I am the wrong photographer.
Prints and commissions
Editioned prints from every series, plus editorial and documentary commissions.
