Still life & interiors

Commission a shoot
A single pear on a bare plaster windowsill
Linen napkins folded in raking afternoon light
A copper pan hung against a chalk-white wall
Dried seedheads in a thrown stoneware jug
A pool of water on a marble counter
Folded paper held flat by a smooth grey stone
Morning shadow of a chair across a floorboard
Two eggs in a shallow earthenware bowl
A glass of water beside an open book
Lemons and a knife on a scrubbed wooden board
A bare branch laid on unbleached cotton
Steam rising from a dark cup on a saucer
Salt scattered across a slate surface
A length of ribbon uncoiling on the floor
Curtain edge lifting in a draught of light
A peach cut in half, seed side up

About the work

I photograph small, ordinary things — fruit on a sill, the way light crosses a plain floor at the end of an afternoon — and try to leave them as quiet as they were when I found them. Most of the work here is shot on film in natural light, with very little arranged and nothing borrowed in to dress the frame. I take on a handful of commissions a year for makers, kitchens, and slow brands who want pictures that breathe rather than sell, and I am always glad to talk about a project before anyone commits to it.
