I was born into the brilliant light of Africa. I began to work at photography 20 years ago, first learning technique and seeing. I photographed everything that interested me. I have won awards (including in the Lucies) and have had a solo exhibition. I exhibit also at Saatchi. My unique style and intent still draws on many subjects and formats. One of my themes is expressed in Eliot Porter's phrase, "intimate landscapes". These are micro-landscapes, microcosms in fact of the world. I have also explored the personality of human gesture and form and individuality. I rarely change cameras.

I (try to) see everything in its own pattern, nature and being. There is sacred life throughout the cosmos. My art style is essentialism, a little like Thoreau's and Emerson's transcendentalism, which sees the universal in the particular and the particular in the universal. It plays between participative vision, magical realism, natural abstraction, and found artworks.

I am an academic researcher and former professor, an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and Fellow of three other professional bodies, including a scientific one. I have won a BBC landscape prize and other awards, but rarely compete now. I have also illustrated three books, several business and NGO websites, and produced work for advertising clients. I have published 4 books, one of them on poetry and another on self-development. I have done numerous portraits on commission and special projects like weddings, film documentary, project recording,
