Travel
I'm lucky enough to travel a lot but I also aim to understand a place in some depth. So I like to find out about the local history, sociology, wildlife and local arts. I prepare for a trip by looking up photos of the famous sights, they're usually a good guide both about the local visual interest and also a warning of what has already been done or over-done.
I try to use the tools of modern photojournalism and photography to communicate how I feel about a place. You’ll see that I have used Portrait, Street, Interior, Historical, Abstract, Landscape, Historical, Wildlife, Phone-camera and Selfie genres at different times for specific effects.
Sunshine on the French Riviera: a selection of my photos of Saint-Raphaël and Fréjus.
The most fun I’ve ever had driving a car: my day out in the Cotswolds in a 2018 Mustang GT, Ford’s famous five litre V8 muscle car. Almost as much fun as a sportsbike.
You know you’re in the Devon hills when... the mud is red and plentiful and the fields are a patchwork of greens.
Another hike, a levada and eating limpets on my last night in Funchal.
Sunset at Funchal, Madeira at the end of my day which started with a minicab journey to Gatwick before dawn amid the freezing frost. The flight was efficient and even landed early. So far so good.
