About

I came to photography the long way round. Years of looking, taking photos, of looking at them, thinking about what they meant to me, before I began to study them seriously. I find myself drawn to questions about what portraits really do, and what they reveal about the people who make them as much as the people they picture.

My current work centres on My Father, My Son, a long-term project exploring father-son relationships through portraiture and sequence. The project sits in a tradition of photographers who have turned the camera on their own families and asks what happens when images accumulate over time; how a single portrait becomes testimony, and how a series becomes something closer to truth. It is, in part, an autobiographical project. Which is to say, it is also about my family, and about my own father, and about the particular silences that pass between men across generations.
