The figures in my work have been described as looking like replicants. I prefer cyphers. Their isolation from each other serves to emphasize a strange even surreal formality.
My street work has been shown in various festivals and group shows internationally. Having been selected as the Juror’s Pick in the LensCulture Street Photography Awards in 2017, I’ve gone on to win several awards including, the series winner at PHoS Athens, and the Best Series award at Streetfoto, San Francisco, in 2017, as well as being the Street category winner of the Neutral Density Awards and series winner in the 13th Pollux Awards, Street category in 2019. I’ve shown also in a number of galleries in the United Kingdom, United States, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Italy, France and Spain. In 2020, I became a member of the street photography collective iN-PUBLiC, and was included in its first online exhibition “The Square Mile”.

entry description
As a street photographer, I take an observational view of how our present circumstances govern our behaviour individually and in crowds. Progressively, we appear to connect with each other only on a synthetic basis. We attempt to mass connect with the aid of modern technology, but in so doing pay less attention to individual connection. I think this is compounded by the increasingly designed environment we inhabit. The codes we see, hear and read within it impact upon our behavioral processes and ultimately isolate us.The figures in my work have been described as looking like replicants. I prefer cyphers. Their isolation from each other serves to emphasize a strange even surreal formality.
