I was born and grew up in the UK but ever since the year 2000 I have been living in Switzerland. Coming to a new country, which, surprisingly, is under-represented in the area of landscape photography has forced me to, in a sense, 'plough my own furrow'. Of course, I have to caveat that by saying Switzerland is under-represented with the exception of a handful of 'honeypot' locations. The Matterhorn and surroundings, Lauterbrunnen valley, Château de Chillon, Lucerne's Kapellbrücke and a few others come to mind as being very much over-represented.

It won't come as a surprise, then, that you will not find those subjects pictured here.

I have been lucky enough to find a variety of locations where few other landscape photographers bother to go and I find myself returning to these places again and again. Which is not surprising when my photography often concerns itself with small, intimate scenes, of which there is an unlimited number in many places. But I do look up from time to time to meet the challenge of photographing grander scenes. And I do not just limit myself to Switzerland, either. I have made photographic forays into the surrounding countries as well as Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom and further afield.

With all that said, I occasionally dabble in genres of photography other than landscape: architectural, street and urban may occasionally feature in my portfolio - often shot handheld with a small, discreet digital camera. Mostly, though, my method is derived from the use of a large format film camera which implies careful selection of scene, setting up a tripod composing and then focussing manually. Most recently, in order to recreate the large-format experience, I have acquired a digital mirrorless camera with a sensor size that is considerably larger than 'full-frame' and I pair this with legacy lenses adapted via a tilt/shift mount. The camera movements allowed are somewhat limited in comparison to my 'big' camera but it is the considered approach to the subject that is important. Consequently, there is a good mix of digital images and those captured on film displayed here.
