I spent my youth outdoors, camping, fishing and roaming around the woods of Southeast Texas. After university I moved to New York City to learn film making. It was during this period that I began developing my eye, shooting and editing documentaries, musician profiles and short films. After writing and directing the low-budget feature film Harry Lied, I finally shifted my focus to still photography as I fell in love with the economy and intimacy of the medium.

I was heavily influenced early on by Cartier-Bresson and Erwitt and their ability to tell a story in a single frame. I now draw inspiration from sources ranging from painting and sculpture to graphic design and architecture.

My Wood images were captured in ancient National Trust forests in Kent, England. I initially set out to just record what I see every time I walk through a forest. As the collection grew, various themes began to emerge around the Garden of Eden story. I find the parallels between the natural world and human anatomy wonderfully strange and am fascinated by people's reaction to being confronted by these parallels. Many of these trees have been around since long before any of us were born. The stories they tell are timeless and reflect the biological imperative at the core of mankind's story.

I currently work in London as a photographer and graphic designer.
