“I am a photographer working from a farm base in the Lake District in England. While self-employed and working in book design and production, learning to take photographs has been something I have done in the between times, inspired by the environment I live in and by poring over the images of the masters. In March 2007 I was invited to present my work-in-progress to a workshop on street photography at Photofusion Gallery in London, as an exploration of the possibilities of ‘rural’ street photography, and later that year I began compiling a serious portfolio after a photograph of mine was selected as one of the final 40 in Tate Modern’s ‘How We Are Now‘ competition. That image can be seen in the Tate archive here.”
