Portraits

Overview

Portraits in black and white, shot in the studio and on location. Some commissioned, some from travelling, and some of people I know well enough that they stop performing for the camera.

Basketball court at street level: a player's legs, a bag, a ball and a coffee cup by the fence

Three men sitting on a step in a courtyard, one shielding his face, one looking down at a phone, one looking away

An older couple seen from behind at a pedestrian crossing, a sweater over his shoulders, their hands joined at the bottom of the frame

Spiral staircase seen from directly above, its ironwork coiling away to a point, with a figure blurred by movement on the top steps

Sheep in a pen, one leaning down to nuzzle another

Sheep behind a wire fence in an open field, houses along the horizon

Flock of sheep grazing on flat farmland with a church spire on the horizon

A woman leaning on a balcony rail and a man looking at his phone, seen through a window divided by a dark post

Two people walking barefoot on wet sand, their reflections stretching towards the camera

Figures on a beach at dusk, a breakwater and lighthouse on one side and a headland on the other

Deserted beach under an overcast sky, a single parasol and two chairs left on the sand

Layered sea cliff photographed from below, a narrow gap of sky splitting the rock
