I photograph landscapes and the way people live within them. My work looks at how settlements, farms, and industry sit inside landforms shaped over much longer periods of time.

Growing up in Wiltshire on the edge of Salisbury Plain, and in California, in the Santa Clara Valley, between the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west and the Diablo Range / East Bay gave me an early awareness of how human structures exist within a wider landscape. Since then I have worked in places where this relationship is visible, including the Kennet and Avon Canal, the valleys of South Wales, and the Cambridgeshire Fenland.

I work slowly, spending time understanding a place before photographing it. Composition comes from the structure of the land itself rather than from formal rules. My aim is simply to describe these places as truthfully as I can.
