Exploring Photobooks

Over the last few years I have been exploring how to translate some of my projects into book form.

I love the idea of photographs in print and the way you can order and sequence images in a book. I have a large collection of photo books in my library, which has been an inspiration as I have started to explore the form for myself.

It is still early days as I have started to experiment. It has been an amazing journey as I have looked at transporting digital projects into print form. I really enjoy the process of selecting and sequencing and thinking about the design of the images on the page.

I have been working on several long-term projects in London, one which has involved multiple journeys on the London bus, and numerous walks up and down London’s second river, the Lea. As I explore sequencing and image choices I realise that the extended projects I have been working on can tell a range of different stories, based on the order and selection of the images.

The most recent projects I’ve made into books are a Journey along the Lea, London’s second river.


The other recent project is Action or Extinction, one of many approaches to the experience of the London commute.

What I see from the London bus

I’ve been continuing to explore London streets from the viewpoint of the bus – what started as a bit of a distraction from my commutes to west London has evolved. I’ve been taking other routes and watching the London landscape pass by.

Some of the more recent images are along Holloway Road..
