I am a photo-based visual artist and an editorial photographer based in Sunderland, UK. I exhibit a responsibility to the social and political capacity of photography – applying my own traumas, experiences and curiosities to evoke a wider public discussion. In my reflective, research-led photo-based practice, I combine visual strategies, genres and media. Employing photography as therapy is a significant and influential element with my work.
I also work as an editorial photographer, specialising in music photography. I have previously shot football, covering matches in the English Premier League, English Football League and English cup tournaments. I also have experience of shooting Rugby Union (Gallagher Premiership and European Challenge Cup), horse racing, cricket, triathlon and athletics. I also occasionally cover news stories, being published in several national newspapers.
