Photography has been a key part of my life from an early age, originally using my grandma’s Kodak Ektralite 10 camera to capture our summer visits to Thornes Park in Wakefield.
With the introduction of accessible digital cameras at the turn of the 21st century, I was bought my first camera at around the age of 13, and it was promptly taken on holiday to Cornwall with my parents. I took in excess of 1000 images in just 7 days!
My 21st birthday present of a DSLR camera (Nikon D5000), whilst at University in Lincoln, changed the way I looked at our industrial heritage and the built environment. Combining these events with the introduction of high quality camera equipped mobile phones, I was able to document life in Yorkshire and travels from my perspective.
The following pages are a number of galleries I have considered crucial to the development of my photographic style and ability. I am going to investigate my archive and publish the older photographs from earlier years and any project work I complete from 2022 onward.
