About:

I am a London-based photographic artist and educator using documentary photography and expanded modes. Since graduating from West Surrey College of Art and Design, Farnham, England, in 1988 with a BA  Hons in Photography, my work has been exhibited, published and reviewed internationally and is held in public and private collections.

My social and political curiosity presents questions around how representation performs knowledge. I maintain a belief in the validity of documentary with an open mind to how it may manifest to formulate a practice beyond language, through spectacle, provocation, and poetics. I understand that rarely does such practice singularly resolve anything in the real world.

As a documentarist, I have employed conceptual approaches through moving image, three-dimensionality, and still photographs, with a current focus on performance and theatre; I am slowly developing a project titiled ‘Performing Photography‘.


I am Principal Lecturer of photography at the University of Westminster, London. In October 2023, I was awarded a PhD by Published Works from the University of Sussex for my thesis, ‘What the Subject Did. Negotiating Agency within Representation’.
