The Gothic Collection: The Darker Side of My Photography
I like to think of the Gothic Collection as the darker side of my photography. I feel that it’s the combination of the subject matter – forgotten corners of graveyards, lonely weathered statues in the mist and the subtle tones and colours that I use in the images – that gives them their Gothic feeling. Some people think graveyards are ‘spooky’ or ‘creepy’, but to me they are places of calm and contemplation. I think the weather is also an important part of my Gothic photog

What Makes a Photograph a Limited Edition?
When I am selling my work at face to face events or in my Red Brick Market unit, I explain that the prints that people are looking at are limited edition or sometimes I will say that they are a ‘limited print run’, so this blog post is to explain just what that means!

I don't want to simply reproduce the Liverpool photographs we've all seen before. I want to find different ways of looking at familiar places - creati
