Analogue photography, mostly shot on 35mm using a Konica Rangefinder camera, and inspired by the alchemical magic of film.
From a month-long exhibition at the Urban Arts Studio in St Annes, Lancashire. The full title of the collection was Lancashire: Another World Around Us, and was an invitation to the viewer to observe the familiar landscapes around them through new eyes.
The collection presents Lancastrian landscapes as alien, exotic and foreign, and encourages the viewer to formulate their own narratives inspired by each of the images, enabling them to view the familiar and mundane with a renewed sense of wonder, and to see the world around them as a place for stories and adventure.
Architectural anomalies and eccentricities of brick and stone, from follies and flights of fancy, to the curious yet practical.

Candid behind-the-scenes shots from fashion shows, coupled with front-of-house catwalk shots of the models and clothes as the audience sees them.
Strange signs carved into the rocks, ominous messengers emulating the forms of animals, and dark hints that there may be more going on in this world than first meets the eye...
Humans facing the world; shots which avoid the trappings of portraiture and the spontaneity of street photography to present people in a state of flux, their faces unseen, their bodies poised to take action.
Are they in the midst of turmoil? On some quest or adventure? Waiting for a lover? Are they looking for something? Have they found someone?
