I would probably describe myself primarily as a travel photographer, although landscape photography remains an important part of what I do.
My photography goes beyond the conventional idea of landscape. I am as interested in the character of a town or village as I am in its surrounding countryside. Historic buildings, architecture, streets, squares, doorways and the smaller details that might otherwise be overlooked all provide subjects for my camera.
Much of my photography is about exploring places and trying to capture what makes each one distinctive. Sometimes that means photographing a dramatic landscape or coastline; at other times it means wandering through an old town, looking for interesting light, architectural details or an unexpected composition.
I rarely include people in my photographs. I prefer to concentrate on the physical environment, the architecture and the atmosphere of a place, although I recognise that this can sometimes give my images a rather empty or solitary quality.
Ultimately, I think of myself as a travel photographer with a strong interest in landscape, architecture and the visual character of places. I travel to discover places, and photography is my way of interpreting and recording them.
