Last month I took part in a really exciting, eclectic exhibition of photography, video and installation. Curated by Heloise Bergman, Thought Atlas ran from 11th-16th June at Espacio Gallery, London.
I showed images from Flower Flower Water Light and Surrender the Land, as well as a projection of Cornish roads (hedges), in Flow.
The 2018 Shutter Hub OPEN in London was such a success that the show has moved to Amsterdam for an encore lasting over a month! I’ve got two images in the exhibition, which is printed entirely on newsprint and looks stunning.

A huge thanks to London Independent Photography and Gemma Barnett of The Photographers Galleryfor selecting my work, and I can’t wait to see all the brilliant photography on display.
The Photographers’ Gallery was founded in 1971 as the first public gallery in the UK dedicated to the medium. It remains a leader in the presentation and exploration of photography in all its forms. It has been instrumental in promoting photography’s pivotal and influential role in culture and society and ensuring its position as a significant art form.
It was great to take part in this year’s exhibition. I was also invited to be part of the presentation and panel discussion on The Street Today, with award winning mobile phone photographer Olly Lang, course leader of Goldsmiths International MA in Photography and Urban Cultures Paul Halliday, and the wonderful John Comino-James. I really enjoyed learning about their different approaches and also sharing my own work and views on Street Photography.
So here’s a MASSIVE thanks to everyone at London Independent Photography for the award and the opportunity to be involved. Here’s a photo of my prints in situ:
Surrender the Land

Untitled – London Project / Traces
The Curated Fridge is the brainchild of Yorgos Efthymiadis, a unique project with the aim of celebrating fine art photography and connecting photographers from around the world.
This exhibition was guest curated by Elin Spring – founder, editor and head writer of the photography blog “What Will You Remember?”, featuring exhibit reviews, curator and artist interviews, book reviews and commentary.
Here’s a photograph of The Curated Fridge in its entirety – my photograph is on the bottom door. You can see all of the photographer’s work on their website, facebook page, and on their instagram feed.

Here’s also a link to their lovely video of afternoon shadows coincidentally framing my image of afternoon shadows on the bottom door: https://www.facebook.com/pg/thecuratedfridge/videos/
My photograph is from a sketch-series of images exploring the light, shadows, and layers of reflections that appear momentarily in my everyday environment, documenting the juxtaposition of plants and trees – cultivated and wild – with built structures.
To find out more about The Curated Fridge take a look at this interesting article on Lenscratch.
Thank you Yorgos and Elin for including my work in this show!
The Obsolete and Discontinued project that I am participating in is exhibiting in Cologne, Germany this winter.
Led by the amazing London based photographer, printer, and alternative processes expert Mike Crawford the project celebrates the unique features and potential of analogue photography, using out of date and discontinued photographic papers, some of which were 20-30 years old.
The project features work by about 50 photographic artists all over the world, including members of the London Alternative Photography Collective. This is my image, a contact print from an iphone5s photograph.
