These days shooting mostly landscapes on Nikon mirrorless (and family portraits that I don't share on flickr). My photography journey began in 1998 as an undergraduate at Cambridge University, where I borrowed a college camera and first became fascinated with printing my own work in the darkroom. Dreaming of following in the footsteps of Magnum icons, I carried my Minolta X700 to Cuba, India and New York within the space of a few months in 1999. A decade later, living in the US, I was still primarily a 'street' photographer and working exclusively with film - including medium and large format cameras.
I was slow to step into the world of digital - perhaps born of a certain snobbishness: I had done the hard miles to learn colour as well as black and white darkroom printing and circa 2009-2011 I just wasn't that enamoured with digital. Also, at the time, the results I got from my Mamiya 6 (one camera that I do regret selling) gave me the feeling that medium format film still had the edge on digital. Fast forward another decade and that debate is over! I now shoot almost exclusively digital but will never part with my Nikon F6, which still sees some occasional rolls put through it. The other big change in the last 10 years or so is discovering a love for hiking and mountaineering. First in Wales and Scotland and now more and more in the Alps, the mountains are just a feast for the photographer.
