Group Photography

A series of images of groups and crowds shot on large format, either 10x8 or 5x4. These groups of people, often in their hundreds, are fascinating in their variety. There is nothing that can quite compare to the sense of occasion that is generated when a group photograph is being taken. E -mail shown at bottom line of website

Shops - 'Shutting Up Shop' ran as a solo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. The Museum of London will soon run an exhibition of large prints featuring 20 of the London shops.

Shot on a large format 10x8 plate camera, and fifteen years in the making 'SHUTTING UP SHOP' is available as a 144 page hardback photo book, published by Dewi Lewis. Taken all over the UK, the book features 60 shopkeepers and their shops, with an afterword telling what became of them by 2007. A selection is shown in the SHOPS Gallery.
