My practice sits between image-making and immersive experience. For more than 30 years, photography has been my way of observing the world: finding meaning in light, gesture, atmosphere and the fragile details that shape how we see ourselves and one another. Working in commercial and advertising photography taught me how to build narratives with precision, but also how to recognise the emotional charge carried by an image.

That same instinct now extends beyond the lens into work with light, sound and emerging technologies. Through immersive installations, I create spaces that can be entered rather than simply viewed spaces that hold tension, beauty, overload and stillness at once. These works are rooted in my experience of the modern environment and in a growing interest in how contemporary life shapes attention, feeling and sensory response.

Across both practices, I am concerned with perception: how we look, how we feel, and how we are altered by the environments we move through. Whether through a photograph or an installation, I want to create work that is visually resonant, emotionally alert and grounded in equality, kindness, curiosity and respect.
