I work with photography and film. I like to make stories about the way we relate to each other, and about the places we encounter on the paths to who we become.
SOME KEY MOMENTS SO FAR
Sixteen years old – When I realised my geography text-book was far less interesting than the shadows falling on it, through the leaves outside my bedroom window. Nineteen years old – when six months worth of films were stolen on a bus in Tanzania; my records of trying to teach English, make friends, and still my spinning young mind long enough to comprehend this beguiling place. Twenty one years old – when my students days, turned into weeks, turned into months spent in the parallel time zone that is the colour darkroom …and on through early jobs shooting babies, formative photos almost missed, the crucial validation of getting paid to make pictures …endless joys, frustrations and compromises …and onto the most important moment yet …29 years old – when my camera helped me to say goodbye to my wonderful dad, and to share our story of love and loss.
