Biography

I am a researcher, artist and lecturer based in Surrey and completed my MA Photography (Distinction) at LCC, University of the Arts London in 2009 after many years as an editorial and advertising photographer. I started using Computer Generated Imagery commercially in the early 2000’s and this technology has informed my current academic, research and art practice. My interests are broadly concerned with the evolving ontology of the computer-generated image and how this can be situated within the photographic tradition. This work has directly informed my teaching practice I have introduced and embedded CGI and other virtual photography modules into all Levels of the BA Photography degree course.

I have exhibited extensively both in the UK and internationally including participation in the Musee de l’Elysee’s ‘reGeneration’ project and being invited to present work at The Hyeres International Photography Festival. My work has been featured in several photographic text books including ‘Why Art Photography?’ by Lucy Soutter, ‘Rethinking Photography’ by P. Smith and C. Lefley and in the current edition of the legendary ‘Langford’s Basic Photography’.

Recent international conferences I have presented research at include: ‘Photography and Virtual Culture’, University of Westminster, May 2024, ‘The Whole Earth: NASA’s Blue Marble Photograph Fifty Years On’ University of Portsmouth, December 2022 and ‘Virtual Photography’ University of Westminster, June 2022.
