Current Project: The Arthurian Quest

Twelve years ago I had the idea to make a landscape photography series as an Arthurian Quest and finally in 2022 I set out on the road to make it.

If you have any interest in Arthurian Legend, Landscape Photography or Questing! Please get in touch.

I am looking for benefactors to help complete this project.

In return for your support you will receive limited edition prints, messages about the making of the work, access to contact sheets as the work is produced and exclusive copies of the photo book when released.

I currently have 0 benefactors.

In 2011 I photographed the area of Dungeness in Kent, England. It became my first work published as a photo-essay in The Guardian Weekend Magazine. 

Fabled as Britains only desert its an area I knew well as I grew up with a view of the nuclear power stations of Dungeness from my bedroom window. And although it is somewhere often cited for its desolation and remoteness I found life there, real life. 

In 2024 I crowdfunded this photo book on Kickstarter, it’ll be the third in a series of self-published photo books from my archive. In-A-Gadda-Da-England and When In The Lone Star State being the previous books.
