Swindon Advertiser "Photographer tells the Thames' intriguing story"

The Swindon Advertiser published an article about my Thames project on the 7th of February.

“Photographer tells the Thames’ intriguing story”.

It was 2017 when I began photographing the Thames from source to sea from a kayak. Having been paddling on the central London River Thames for over twenty years I felt it was time to explore the rest of this intriguing river. The kayak often gives me a very different perspective of the river to that seen from the banks. I can get into nooks and crannies not otherwise accessible to photograph from underneath pontoons, between houseboats, and get close to river furniture and wildlife.

For many years, I worked as a professional photographer, photographing wild places and urban spaces for editorial and corporate clients.

During the pandemic, I began drawing again, something I hadn’t done much of since leaving art school, where I did a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration (BA Hons) at Kingston University. I am now an abstract artist and my work is centered around my experiences with photographing water.
