Edition number 4/2010
A simple recap of what I do:
1. Night picture desk on the Daily Mail. Matching pictures to stories.
2. Gallery work. Putting my own ideas onto paper. I use the darkroom skills I relied on before the digital age. I keep working ideas in my mind so that when I am in the studio the concept is strong and I can concentrate on the visual shape. I produce traditional prints for gallery exhibition.
3. Editorial photography, sometimes commissioned, more often speculative sales through the agency Rex Features. I keep local in my search for pictures and my stock pictures are simple shots made at my home studio.
I take portraits for editorial use, they are interesting to do and when the time is pre arranged fit in well with my fixed newspaper shifts.
What I want to achieve:
A gallery picture which is an emotional expression of my thoughts.
Stock pictures based on food ingredients.
Keeping my regular desk shifts.
More portrait commissions.
