I realise that it is now months since I last posted anything here – where has the time gone? (Mostly on working on a new book idea…) Anyway, I spent a good day at Exeter Quay with some fellow photographers thanks to the Landscape Group of the RPS,…

This is my first venture into book publishing other than on a one-off basis. Field Studies is my tribute to our farmers and their influence on the landscape. Taking photos of arable and grassland fields was a project I started more than 20 years ago, and which still…
I can’t believe this is my 11th year of doing this. Anyway, this year, I chose a quirky take on the theme of “All Wrapped Up”, largely inspired by a trip earlier in the year to Suffolk, where I found a whole beach full of boats wrapped up…
