What gives you inspiration?

My inspiration comes from everything around me but I am particularly interested in travelling and exploring the world and trying to find things people may not have seen before or have been aware of. Inspiration can come from around any corner and I never quite know what will inspire me until I see it.

What are your influences?

Other photographers, music, film, books, art, nature, science, museums, people and life in general.

Why did you choose these photos?

These photos are a selection from 4 different projects, that show a recurring theme from my work of taking a less obvious look at the world.

What does photography mean to you?

I like the idea that in my small way I am documenting a world that will not exist forever and that in some form I am capturing a brief window in time that people can look back on in the future.
