I’m an analogue photographer and printmaker. This means I shoot film and print the photographs as photopolymer etchings (photogravures). I also do linocut prints and drypoints, and handmake photobooks of my work.
I share my work, techniques and methods on Instagram on a regular basis.
I’m a member of the Birmingham Printmakers and my printmaking work is regularly exhibited (and occasionally sells).
I write for 35MMC about photography, cameras and film, and about collecting photobooks and books about photography. I’m also on Substack.
I firmly believe that that nobody really looks at photographs on screens (or if they do, its very briefly and they don’t actually enjoy it) and because of this, I’m an advocate of printing my photographs in order to share them. For me this is all about the photopolymer etching process, and creating my own photobooks and zines. I evangelise to fellow photographers that their images will die on their hard drives unless they get them into the physical realm.
