After days of heavy rain, a welcome glimpse of sun. Billowing clouds, bright sculpted edges and black treetopsβthe sort of light that makes me reach for the camera. Nikon / 85mm
Benidorm, Christmas 1983. The Flying Pickets were No.1 with βOnly Youβ. I was photographing palm shadows on my Rolleiflex, loaded with Tri-X 400.
Found untouched in my loft archive after 40 years, alongside East End and Regentβs Canal prints.

Hip-deep in the River Torridge at 08:45 on a Wednesday morning for this shot. Photographed on digital Nikon and Mamiya C220 with Fomapan 400, both using a red filter. This is the digital frameβfilm comparison to follow once developed in D-76. #FilmPhotography #Appledore
Amanda at Freddieβs, 1984. A dancer and new face, photographed on a rainy Friday night in London. #Hasselblad 500 C/M, FP4, one umbrella light and a silver reflector.
Rediscovered among prints stored for over 25 years. #FilmPhotography #FashionPhotography
Ovingdean, Brighton 1991. Revisited, 2026.
Fashion photographs I shot and styled with tailor Mark Powell, now extended through AI into scenes we never photographed. My archive, seen through my eyes today.
The original photographs begin the story. The new images continue it.
Christine, Elite London, 1991. A recovered negative from a hot summer shoot with Elite and Storm models on a beach near Brightonβthe same beach where I spent my days and often ran my business. Mamiya C330. Clothes: Hyper Hyper.

The Skern β Appledoreβs old shipbreaking ground.
This tidal stretch was once a busy shipbreaking yard, where Henry Hinks grounded old ketches and barges, stripping them before the next tide came in. πΈ

First roll of film in around 20 years.
Horses, Appledore at dusk. Shot on a Yashica A with Fomapan 200 β f/8 at 1/60 sec.
No screen, no checking. Just light, instinct and waiting to see what came back.

A set-piece fantasy portrait created on location with daylight, flash and reflectors. Kirka designed the clothes and created the hair, make-up and character herself.
Part portrait, part fashion, part theatre.

Iβve bought myself a Mamiya C220 β a camera I used and loved when I first started taking photographs. Now with 80mm and 180mm lenses, plus an eye-level finder coming from Japan. Slower, more considered photography. Looking forward to sharing new pictures soon. β at Appledore, England
