I’m an artist/photographer based in Bridgend, Wales, UK. Predominantly self-taught, I discovered photography in the early 90s through the Welsh skateboarding scene.
My work is primarily based within the documentary genre and concentrates on people, place & family. The projects I produce usually echo subtle hints of personal history bound with layered narratives, social commentary and political digs at the establishment.
My photography is held at several prominent galleries and institutions including: The Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol, the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff (David Hurn ‘Swaps’ collection) the MMX Gallery, London, Ffotogallery, Cardiff, the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, the International Center of Photography (ICP), New York and IKS - The Institute of Art Documentation, Germany. I’ve been featured in many different publications over the years and have participated in around 50 exhibitions both nationally and internationally; which includes 7 solo shows.
In 2018, I was announced as a winner of the British Journal of Photography, Portrait of Britain prize and again in 2024.
