Some images from my new project, The Transient City.
As I have wandered the city in recent years, I can't help but think about how transient it all is.
The constant flow of human presence through spaces that endure long after they have moved on
On my last trip to London, I was looking for different things rather than the recognisable landmarks and cityscapes I am usually drawn to.
This time I looked for light, movement, and anonymity. Busy spaces contrasting with the quiet moments before the rush.
The Transient City.

A composite image I made after a recent visit to Birmingham, and the images I used to make it. Many thanks to Camversation for hosting the night walks there, such a great way to get to know a city. I will be leading a photowalk for Camversation in Edinburgh in October so watch this space for further details!

Loved wandering about Digbeth in Birmingham recently with my camera. These Peaky Blinders murals were commissioned to tie in with the new film and they look amazing.

Last weekend marked our fourth in-person Guild PhotoHubs and Awards weekend, and it was a wonderful celebration from start to finish.

The weekend began with an incredible day of UKPPA live print judging, with so many beautiful images to admire. This was followed by a full day of talks, including a brilliant presentation by Jayne Bond at Studio Mlino on photographing nature in her favourite habitat, the graveyard, Gemma Sains, who delivered a great talk and practical demonstration on having fun with macro; and my own talk on Creating Urban Composites.

Awards night was a little different for me this year, as over the past year I’ve been part of the X-celerate programme, training to become a judge, which meant I wasn’t entering IOM. As a result, it was a lovely stress-free evening spent celebrating the incredible talent in the room ☺️

The cherry on the cake was being invited to join the Guild of Photographers judging panel, the start of an exciting new phase this year!

With thanks to Gary Hill for the images from a 'proper' camera ☺️
