EXPERIENCE

Taking photographs since around 1988.

A level Photography and Fine Art at CCAD, Hartlepool, 2002.

BA (Hons) Photography at CCAD/University of Teesside, 2005.

Learned more in the years following formal education than I ever learned during them.

Hope to never stop learning.

Film: 35mm, 120, negative, slide, polaroid.

Light: A motley crew of vintage thrift store flashguns, newer digital models, and hammerhead, triggered wirelessly by a cheap set of radio triggers that have thus far served me reliably well.
