No Diving Ed. 1 of 10

Monochrome of a crooked jetty. Like an artistic endeavour, getting to the end of this jetty isn't linear, and diving in can be painful. Still, knowing that it takes time and effort makes the act itself enlightening. This image originally included plenty of boats and other maritime paraphernalia, all carefully removed in post before the image was given the monochrome treatment. Available on Hahnemuhle Canvas or Museo Portfolio Rag.

As a scientist, I've spent many years scratching the left side of my brain. My right brain is pretty chilled, but twenty years of being ignored was bound to create issues. With a love of the outdoors and an undeniable urge to suddenly find a creative outlet, I combined my love of the outdoors with a borrowed camera. Inspired initially by Peter Eastway, and then Peter Hewitt, Michael Kenna, Adam Burton, Julia Fuchs and Rachel Talibart amongst others, I've moved from happy snapper to obsessed photographer. Light and form, time and texture drive me. I want to take photos that transport me when I look at them: recognisable but somehow ethereal. I feel a great stillness behind the camera, the same stillness I feel when I am out in the wilderness, and I am constantly striving to recreate that feeling with each frame I take. I hope you like what you see.
