Currently working on two pieces. Primarily researching for a forthcoming paper entitled, 'Found Photography: Authorship and The Photographic Other'. I am gradually working through several small pieces of work that will become chapters of a larger project based on a method of personal archaeology. A couple of group projects / collaborations are also in the pipeline so keep an eye on any calendar dates if you would like to come and see my work.
Anyone and everyone. I feel I can produce work for a commercial purpose as well as work that will fit into the context of art and contemporary photography, due to the degree I am currently studying. I have traveled a little and really enjoy it. My main adventures so far have been to Paris and Cuba in 2005 and 2006 respectively. Paris is well known for its photo opportunities and Cuba was a fantastic experience, a place that will not be forgotten and somewhere I hope to return to. Also the UK should not be underestimated for the diversity out there. Recently I have completed a photographic exchange with students in Nanjing and Beijing, China. It was a fantastic opportunity and I made some great friends. I also hope to return one day in the future. If anybody has been or, is considering visiting these countries then get in touch as I am more than happy to share my experiences.

Anything to do with theory of Art, and theories associated with Photography. I have a certain draw to essays involving politics, ethics and philosophy surrounding aesthetic notions of art and photography art/photography.
I like everyday heroes. Those who offer a seat to someone with a greater need than them or, help parents up and down the stairs in the tube with pushchairs.
