About


I explore urban visual culture using photography and reflective writing as investigative tools. My passion is urban and street imagery, and I curate Urban Photography Newsthe online collection of articles, tips and techniques related to this topic.

My dad was a portrait photographer – I guess I inherited my interest in urban portraits from him.

I have a PhD in Art History (University of East Anglia, Norwich), which informs my understanding of the urban condition as embodied in contemporary social and cultural practices. I love capturing urban art and creative events in public space and tend to use insights from the urban and visual culture studies to write about my images.

My husband John is an inspiration behind many of my personal projects – I am so grateful for his strength and support!
