In 2014 he published Soundings from the Estuary accompanied with an essay by Jonathan Meades. He had a one man show The Back of Beyond as part of the London Photo Festival in 2016.
His latest book entitled ‘Rollercoasting’ was published in 2022.The work considers the Kent coast as a frontier between England and Europe as well as the idiosyncratic relationship that is visually apparent when viewing this erratic and often iconic landscape. The Kent coastline fluctuates between the flatlands of Thanet and Dungeness and the undulating chalk hills and cliffs of the North Downs.
Circling Saturn: A Sebaldian Drift is a loose set of images that probably has its origins from reading Rings of Saturn, W.G. Sebald’s account of roaming across E. Anglian counties. Illustrating his work would be an absurd endeavour. So instead these photographs reflect my own pre-occupations with the area, predominantly the environmental threat to the coastline.
