BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY PRINTS
I began by developing and printing my own black and white photographs in the darkroom. Working that way taught me to pay close attention to tone, shadow and the way light shapes a subject. That early experience still influences how I photograph today, and this work has received recognition from the Black & White Spider Awards over several years.
Without colour, different elements come forward. Sea spray against dark water, the silhouette of a surfer or the softer tones of horses standing in snow can completely change the character of an image. I like the range this gives me, from bold contrast to much quieter studies built around shape, texture and light.
I came across this group of horses standing closely together beneath the shade of a large tree on a beautiful summer's day. Their heads were almost touching, and there was something about the way they stood that immediately caught my attention.
They seemed completely content in each other's company, almost as though they were communicating without making a sound. There was something quite extraordinary about it, an almost telepathic understanding between them. I had the feeling they were drawing comfort simply from being so close to one another.
I moved in very close to photograph them, and they didn't seem to mind me being there at all. Having grown up around horses, I've always felt completely at ease in their company. I think they can sense that. There is a certain trust and understanding that develops when you've spent so much of your life around them.
What stayed with me about this moment was how little was happening, yet how much seemed to be shared between them. I wanted to capture that quiet connection, the comfort and companionship that needed no explanation.

I photographed Embla in the New Forest National Park. I was brought up around horses and have always felt very comfortable in their company, so I tend to spend time watching them before I decide to make a photograph.
What caught my attention with Embla was the way she looked directly towards me while her mane moved in the breeze. There was something very calm and self-assured about her expression, and I waited for that moment of eye contact before taking the photograph.
I chose black and white because it keeps the attention on her expression, the texture of her mane and the simple shape of the horse against the landscape. For me, it is the quiet character and presence of Embla that make the image work.

What first caught my attention about this stallion was how incredibly strong and noble he looked. He stood very still and completely self-assured, with a presence that immediately made me want to photograph him.
I’ve always felt comfortable around horses, so rather than trying to make him pose, I waited and watched. What I particularly liked was the strength of his shape and the expression in his face.
I chose black and white because it stripped away anything distracting and kept the attention on the stallion himself, his strength and the character in his expression.

I love photographing surfers because you never quite know what is going to happen next. There is always the chance of a great action image, and the locations themselves can be spectacular. Walking on Water was photographed at Nazaré in Portugal, where the Atlantic can produce some extraordinary surf.
What caught my attention here was the scale of the wave and the way the surfer seemed almost weightless against all that moving water. I waited for the moment when the rider and the breaking wave came together, with the surfer appearing to skim across the surface.
I chose black and white because I wanted the shape, texture and movement of the wave to become the main focus. For me, this photograph is about that combination of a powerful sea, a skilled surfer and the split second when everything comes together.

I made End Of Day in Hossegor, France, while I was there photographing a World Tour surfing event. By the end of the day most of the activity had quietened down, and I noticed this lone surfer walking along the beach with his board.
What caught my attention was the silhouette of the surfer against the fading light. After spending the day photographing the energy of the competition, this felt like a very different side of surfing, with just one surfer leaving the beach as the day came to an end.
I chose black and white because it reduced the scene to the figure, the light and the shape of the shoreline, which was exactly what had appealed to me when I saw it.

I photographed Wild Thing from the water, close to the approaching swell. A dark ridge of water was rising in front of me while the wind lifted the spray from the top and sunlight scattered across the surface.
What I liked was the contrast between the solid shape and power of the wave and the much softer spray above it. Being in the sea gave me a very different viewpoint and made the wave feel much more immediate.
I chose black and white because it strengthened the shape of the breaking water while keeping the fine detail and texture in the spray.

I photographed Shining Strength in Spain just after this black stallion had been hosed down. What immediately caught my attention was his incredible muscular body and the way the water made his dark coat shine in the sunlight.
The light seemed to pick out every line and muscle and gave him an almost sculptural appearance. I have always loved the strength and physical presence of Spanish horses, and for me this photograph is really about that. It is about the power of the horse, the shape of his body and the wonderful shine across his coat.
I chose to present the photograph in black and white because I wanted all the attention to remain on his form, texture and strength rather than on colour. It made an already powerful horse feel even more striking.

I made Snow Kiss while walking through the New Forest National Park one winter. I came across two dark horses standing together in the snow. As they slowly moved towards one another, I could see there was going to be a photograph, so I waited until their heads came together before taking it.
I chose black and white because I wanted to keep the photograph simple and concentrate on the two horses and their dark shapes against the snow. What I like most is that small moment between them, surrounded by all that white space.

I made this photograph early one morning in Hossegor on the south west coast of France. Mist had settled over the beach and the surfers were standing quietly at the shoreline, looking out towards the sea.
What appealed to me was how the haze softened almost everything except the figures. The surfers became silhouettes against the pale morning light, and the whole scene had a stillness that felt very different from the energy I usually associate with surfing.
Black and white suited the photograph because it kept the attention on the shapes, the light and the quiet atmosphere. The moment lasted only briefly, but it stayed with me afterwards.

I made The Line Up while I was living in southern Spain, where I spent several months on a ranch and regularly went to local horse festivals and equestrian events. It was a wonderful time for me photographically because I could spend so much time around the horses, riders and traditions of the region.
What caught my attention here was the way the horses had lined up almost shoulder to shoulder with their riders behind them. I liked the repetition of their heads and bridles across the frame and waited until the arrangement felt balanced before taking the photograph.
I chose black and white because it simplified a busy scene and brought more attention to the horses themselves — their expressions, the tack and the rhythm created by the line.

I came across Shadow while travelling through southern Spain. He was a beautiful black horse with a huge amount of character, and from the moment he saw me he seemed genuinely excited and curious about what I was doing.
He leaned towards me as though he wanted to investigate, and I loved the directness of his expression. There was something playful and engaging about him that made the photograph feel much more like an encounter than a formal horse portrait.
I chose black and white because it keeps the attention on his face, expression and the rich tones of his coat. For me, the photograph is really about his personality and that unexpected moment of connection between us.

I photographed Marlboro Man on a beach near Tarifa in southern Spain, where I was living on a ranch at the time. I used to walk along this beach regularly with my camera and would often see people riding horses, walking their dogs or heading out to surf.
What I love about this photograph is the sense of freedom it conveys. It is such a simple scene — a man riding his horse along the beach with his dog running beside him — but to me it represents a wonderfully uncomplicated and enriching way of life that you can still come across in parts of Spain.
There was no planning involved. I simply saw the three of them moving together along the shoreline and knew immediately that I wanted to photograph it. The black and white treatment seemed right for the image, stripping the scene back to the rider, the horse, the dog and the open beach.
For me, Marlboro Man is really about that feeling of space, freedom and a way of life that feels increasingly rare.

I photographed The Youngster in the New Forest National Park, a place where I have spent many days walking and looking for horses to photograph. I have always enjoyed seeing them roaming freely there, particularly when you come across a young foal like this one.
What caught my attention was the way this youngster stood looking directly towards me, curious and alert but completely at ease in its surroundings. I liked the simplicity of the scene and the slightly awkward, long-legged appearance that young horses have at this age.
Having grown up around horses, I have always felt comfortable photographing them and waiting quietly for these little moments of character to appear. I chose black and white because it keeps the attention on the foal itself, its expression and its delicate young form.

What appealed to me about Liquid was that it didn’t feel like a typical wave photograph. There was something much more artistic and mysterious about the way the light was catching the water, with parts of the wave emerging from the darkness while other areas almost disappeared into it.
I was less interested in showing the wave simply as a powerful piece of ocean and more interested in the shapes, tones and movement within it. Converting the image to black and white helped take it even further away from a straightforward seascape and made the photograph feel more abstract.
I particularly like that you don’t take everything in immediately. The longer you look at it, the more detail begins to appear in the spray and the surface of the water. For me, that sense of mystery is what makes Liquid different from many of my other wave photographs.

I made this photograph when an ordinary moment on the beach suddenly became something much more abstract. The surfer’s reflection in the wet sand had reduced the figure almost to a silhouette, and I waited until the position of the surfer and the reflection felt balanced before taking the photograph.
I chose black and white because it strips the scene back to shape, texture and reflection. There is very little competing for attention, which is part of what I like about the image, and the square composition adds to that sense of balance and simplicity.

I photographed Sentinel on North Beach at Nazaré, Portugal. What caught my attention was this husky standing quietly beside its owner’s surfboard, watching the sea and waiting for him to return.
There was something very loyal about the way the dog stayed beside the board, almost as if it were guarding it. I watched for a while before making the photograph because I liked the simplicity of the scene — the dog, the surfboard and the huge open beach around them.
I chose black and white because it stripped the picture back even further, and the panoramic format helped emphasise the empty space and the feeling of the dog waiting alone.

I photographed Dancing on Waves in the Canary Islands during the winter, when the Atlantic often produces some wonderful conditions for surfing.
What caught my eye was the silhouette of the surfer and the poise and grace in the way his body moved across the wave. There was something almost dancer-like about it — the balance, the position of his arms and the way he seemed completely at ease despite all the movement beneath him.
That was really what gave me the title Dancing on Waves. I chose black and white because it stripped away the distractions of colour and made the shape of the surfer, the spray and the movement of the wave much more important.
For me, it is less about the size of the wave and more about that brief moment of balance and grace between the surfer and the sea.

I photographed Surfing Solitude in Hossegor on the south west coast of France during the winter surf season. What caught my attention was the simplicity of the scene, with one surfer walking along an almost empty beach and the sea stretching away behind him.
I liked how small the figure appeared against all that open space. There was very little in the frame, which is exactly what appealed to me. I chose black and white because it reduced the photograph even further to the surfer, the bands of sea and sand, and the quiet atmosphere of the moment.
For me, this photograph is as much about the space around the surfer as the surfer himself.

I photographed Wild Coast II at La Pared in Fuerteventura, where the Atlantic can hit the rocky coastline with tremendous force. I was standing close to the edge when this enormous wave struck the rocks and exploded upwards in front of me.
The spray caught both me and my camera, but fortunately I had already got the shot. What really struck me was the sheer scale of the water as it rose above the rocks and briefly hid much of the coastline behind it.
I chose black and white because I wanted the shape, texture and force of the wave to stand out. This photograph still takes me straight back to that moment, with the Atlantic breaking almost on top of me and the spray coming straight towards me.

I made this portrait while travelling through South Africa on a road trip. I came across this young boy standing by the roadside selling feather dusters made from ostrich feathers, and it became one of those unexpected encounters that has stayed with me.
His direct gaze was what made the photograph for me. There was something very still and self-assured about the way he looked into the camera, while the ostrich feathers around him created an unusual natural frame for his face.
I chose black and white because I wanted the attention to stay on his expression, his eyes and the textures within the portrait. Travelling with a camera has given me many unexpected moments over the years, and this is one of the portraits I still remember particularly well.

I photographed Through the Breakers in Fuerteventura while watching a sailing boat making its way through the rough sea. The part I really liked was that the boat itself had almost completely disappeared behind the breaking waves, leaving only the sails visible above the water.
For me, that makes the photograph much more interesting than simply showing the whole boat. The sails give you just enough information to understand what is happening, while the scale of the breakers becomes much more apparent because so much of the vessel is hidden from view.
I chose black and white because it suited the shapes and tones of the scene and kept the attention on the sails and the movement of the sea. There is also a slightly mysterious quality to the photograph, as you are left imagining the boat pushing its way through all that water beneath the sails.

I came across Taurus while travelling in Spain and certainly wasn’t expecting to find a huge bull standing on the beach. He was completely relaxed, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous getting this close to him with my camera.
There was something extraordinary about seeing such a powerful animal in this setting. Standing almost directly in front of me, with those enormous horns and that solid, muscular body, he had an incredible presence.
I stayed with him long enough to make the portrait I wanted. I chose black and white because it concentrates everything on the bull himself, his shape, expression and strength, without anything else competing for attention. For me, the photograph still brings back that slightly unnerving feeling of standing face to face with him on the beach.

I photographed Cofete in Monochrome late in the day on the west coast of Fuerteventura. Cofete is one of my favourite places to be, especially around dawn or dusk when I can sometimes have the whole beach almost to myself.
Reaching it means crossing the mountains on a narrow, winding road, and when the beach finally opens out below you, the scale of the place is difficult to take in.
On this particular evening it was how empty the landscape felt that caught my attention. The long beach stretched beneath the dark mountain ridge with almost nothing else in sight. I stayed as the light began to fade and the scene gradually became more about shape, tone and atmosphere than colour.
Black and white felt completely natural for this photograph. It brought out the sweep of the shoreline, the mountains behind it and the extraordinary openness of Cofete. The panoramic format also suited the landscape and helped preserve that feeling of scale.

I photographed Reflected Cyclists during a World Championship road race in extremely wet conditions. The rain was relentless and I ended up completely soaked, but the water on the road suddenly gave me a different way of photographing the race.
I began watching the cyclists’ reflections as they passed, and particularly liked how the two riders became almost silhouetted in the water. It turned a fast moving sporting event into something much more graphic and abstract.
It was one of those occasions when difficult weather actually created the photograph. I was very pleased with the result, and the image has since received photographic recognition.

I made Boats in the Fog while out on my paddleboard early one foggy morning. I often paddle around looking for different ways of photographing the sea, as being on the water gives me viewpoints and perspectives that I wouldn’t get from the shore.
What caught my attention here was the way the sailing boats were only just visible through the mist, with the sun beginning to break through above them and its light reflected in the gentle ripples across the foreground.
I stayed out there as the fog shifted and the boats gradually appeared and disappeared in the distance. There was very little colour in the scene, so black and white felt completely natural and allowed me to concentrate on the light, reflections and layers of mist.
What I particularly like is the sense of depth — the darker water in the foreground slowly disappearing into the fog until the boats are almost lost in it.

I took this photograph from the sea using my underwater camera housing. It was just after sunrise, and the conditions were pretty wild. The sea was rough and the sky was full of dark clouds, but I love being out in the water when it's like that. There's something exciting about being right in the middle of it all.
I'd been watching the light change when I spotted a little flock of seabirds flying across the waves. Just at that moment, the sun started breaking through the clouds, sending these wonderful rays of light down onto the sea.
I could hardly believe my luck. I knew the moment I pressed the shutter that I'd got something special.
What I particularly love about this photograph is the atmosphere and the story it tells. There's so much going on, from the movement of the rough sea to those beautiful rays of sunlight breaking through the darkness. And then there are those little birds, making their way across it all.
It's one of those moments that reminds me why I love photographing the ocean. You never quite know what you're going to see, and sometimes everything comes together when you least expect it.
I called it The Journey because of those little birds making their way across such a vast, restless ocean.
The Journey is available as a limited-edition black and white fine art seascape photography print. Its dramatic sky, beautiful shafts of sunlight and movement of the ocean are particularly striking at large scale, where the finer details of the photograph can really be appreciated.
