Selected work

Seen from above, a lone figure crosses a floor of blurred white discs spiralling outwards A man walks along a stone wall at the edge of a bright dome of light on the pavement A woman with a scalloped umbrella walks past a white facade, beside a street lamp and a window reflecting an old stone building An empty football pitch in heavy fog, white lines on dark turf behind a fence A row of metal chairs against a concrete wall striped with light and shadow A woman descends dark stairs, her outstretched hand repeated as a shadow in a patch of sunlight A walker in a hat climbs stairs below a curved handrail and a large lantern, seen against the sky A gull stands on a street lamp beside a half moon while two others fly above Pigeons feed on a reflective tiled floor inside a station hall with tall windows A woman looks out from a slanted opening in a dark concrete wall Blurred figures climb a wide stone staircase, their shadows stretched across the landing A row of glowing EXIT signs repeated in motion blur above people walking down a corridor A woman in a sun hat walks hand in hand with a small child through a hall of tall windows and grid shadows A girl watches moon jellyfish glowing in a dark aquarium A cat walks along a wooden house at night beneath the curved shadow of a window grille A figure with an umbrella stands at the top of stairs under a glass canopy, beside tall office towers A man in headphones leans against a dark wall, looking at his phone
