Fleeting Moments of Life : Captured in Photo-books

With over forty years of experience, my journey as a professional photographer began in the fast-paced world of press photography, where I learnt to love the art of capturing decisive moments of life. Today, as a social documentary and landscape photographer, I continue to focus on documenting these moments, whether in vibrant streets, tranquil countryside, or along rugged coastlines. Sometimes, I incorporate haiku poetry to take photography to a different level with an aim to deepen the connection between what we feel about life and how we see it through our images.

I share the skills I’ve honed over a lifetime, teaching others the art of photography with an emphasis on seeing, timing, composition, and narrative. I’m also deeply passionate about the lasting power of photobooks, which I champion as a medium to preserve and present visual stories with depth and nuance, allowing future generations to experience our times through the legacy of our archives. I have worked a lot with the Royal Photographic Society, writing the criteria for their Photobook Distinction Genre and chairing and assessing both Photo-books and Licentiate submissions.

Through both photography and teaching via workshops and courses , I aim to inspire others to see the world with fresh eyes and to capture its fleeting, meaningful moments for future generations.
