Conceptual nominee

I'm Not An Old Bag is a series of self portraits created as a reaction to the media and society's pressures on how we look and live. Using a number of 'Bags for Life', found accumulating in a cupboard, this series comments not just on our environment of mass consumerism but on the media's pressures of growing old in a society that demands us to look forever young. Simulating the feeling of a clothing catalogue, the bags for life compliment each outfit.

I am a Brighton based photographer who has worked in the Arts for many years. I am an eclectic photographer who celebrates the realness of life through documentary and street photography. In 2013 I Won 'Take a View' Landscape Photographer of the year and was a British life category winner 2018. For my project work I show a slower more conceptual approach drawing on my fine art background. My work is poignant and edgy, often unveiling elements of our human nature.
In 2018 I was awarded my Fellowship to the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio 'The Factory". Covid allowing, I will be presenting my first solo exhibition entitled 'My Adopted Family' a personal project looking at family, memories and inheritance.
