Etc.

A collection of photographs made outside my main projects.

Uitdammerdijk, Amsterdam-Noord, September 2026

 

“Once a week I try to go to this spot just outside of Amsterdam to look at the birds. It feels hopeful that there is a place so close to the city where many rare species can be found. By looking through the binoculars I literally zoom in on nature, and for a moment forget the rush of daily life or the depressing headlines. Suddenly I feel like I’m in the middle of a David Attenborough film and it’s only a 25 minute bike ride away from my home.” – Frank

 

Spottersplek Polderbaan, Vijfhuizen, September 2026

 

“I’ve been watching aeroplanes since 1974. Other people collect stamps; I collect sightings. I have thousands of photographs. The technology of jet flight is incredible. There are many computers on that plane working all the time, some run in sync ready as backup. It’s magical how jets stay in the sky.” – Paul

 

Scheveningen Beach, The Hague, Netherlands, September 2026

 

“I am a photographer. I often come here to the beach to take photos.” – Beray

 

Wassenaar Beach, Wassenaar, Netherlands, September 2026

 

“We walk here every day from our house unless there’s a storm. My husband is 92 years old. Does he look it?”

 

Hoek van Holland, September 2026

“We were there because it is a beautiful spot in the Netherlands where you can watch canals, passing ships, and cruise liners.

But on that particular day, we were there because Máxima’s mother and sister had come to visit; since a photo had been taken at that exact spot two years earlier, we decided to stick to our tradition and take another picture in the very same place”. – Jana

Burton Bradstock, August 2026

Pat was walking the South Coast Path when I met him on his way to Weymouth. He said he was covering roughly 500 miles, walking around 30 miles a day and sleeping wild in a two-person tent.

When I asked why he was doing it, he said: “For no reason really. I needed a holiday and set myself a personal challenge.”

Burton Bradstock, August 2026

Rebecca, Lee, their daughter Layla and her friend Marlee were staying at Freshwater Beach Holiday Park with Rebecca’s parents. It was their fifth visit. They return for the location, the coast and the walk over the hill towards Hive Beach.

Tolpuddle, July 2026

Kathy Claxton, Jaime Danko and Angel Danko, descendants of Tolpuddle Martyr James Hammett, with Phil Claxton, Owen Brennan and Ethen Adams beneath the historic Martyrs’ Tree.

Tradition holds that it was under this ancient sycamore that Hammett and his fellow Martyrs met in 1834 to form their Friendly Society, an act that became a defining moment in the history of trade unionism.

Winchester, June 2026

Sophia asked me to photograph her arrival at her prom. She came to the UK from war torn Ukraine and chose a blue dress and a yellow Ferrari to reflect the colours of the Ukrainian flag. Her father had been granted special permission to travel to the UK so he could be there to greet her and open the car door.

Sophia arranged everything herself on a small budget, including the dress, shoes, jewellery, car and photographer. I was impressed by her confidence and how much she had managed to put together.

Andover, March 2025

I was asked to make portraits of the characters from a production of Shrek during a dress rehearsal at The Lights theatre in Andover. This portrait shows the Scarecrow in full costume, photographed away from the stage to give the character a presence of their own. The series records the work of the performers, costume makers and production team before the show opened to the public.

Andover, December 2025

As artist in residence at Rookwood School, an independent school in Andover, I was asked to help A Level Art student Bo Kremer develop her exam portfolio. We made this portrait using a ring flash, drawing on the direct, highly polished style often seen in high end fashion magazines. The session gave Bo the opportunity to explore fashion photography, lighting and the relationship between the photographer, sitter and camera.

Andover, October 2025

As part of Rookwood School’s Activities Week, I led a photography and storytelling workshop with students in Andover town centre. Working with members of the public, the students made portraits and explored how photography can create connections between people and their community. Back at school, we edited the photographs and discussed ethical storytelling, consent, empathy and the responsibility involved in representing others. This portrait was made during the workshop.

Andover, Octobr 2024

I was commissioned by Chapel Arts Studios to photograph Chris Bramble and his work for the Expressions in Clay exhibition. A renowned ceramicist, Bramble blends African and European influences, creating distinctive pieces that fuse traditional forms with contemporary techniques. His work explores social, political, and personal themes that resonate on a universal level.

London, July 2023

Made at Somerset House, London this work was conceived by artist Sherie Edgar, who asked me to make the photographs. The piece looks at access and exclusion within British institutions.

Imber, May 2023

This photograph is part of a project exploring memory, place, and the meaning of imprisonment.

The man pictured was recently released from HM Prison Erlestoke, where the wings are named after Wiltshire landmarks – Imber among them.

By mapping the Imber wing to its real world location, I seek to reconnect these borrowed names to their origins. In doing so, the work reflects on how places are repurposed, how identities are shaped by confinement, and what is lost when meaning is severed from memory.

Penzance, December 2021

The sea was playful and wild, yet it welcomed the gentle caress of the last rays of the winter sun, just as I did.

She whispered, “You are welcome here, but don’t stay long.”

I understood.

No lingering – just a quick dip, then a swift retreat.

My hands plunged into the bag, grabbing the comforting embrace of my towel as the shivers and tingling took hold.

The Kenward Stone Chute Causeway, May 2021

I was once puzzling over the strange markings on the stone when two locals approached and asked if I knew what they were. I admitted that I didn’t.

With a knowing look, one replied, “If you were a doctor, you’d know – they’re the entrails of a man.”

He went on to recount how the holes were made: someone had attempted to fix ropes to the stone to move it, but “the horses dropped dead,” he said.

Later, a shepherd told me the stone had a name: the “Devil’s Waistcoat.”

The boy was at a loss. Giving up the pizza wan’t an option, but he also couldn’t risk getting his favourite shirt dirty. What could he possibly do against a pizza-loving T-Rex?

“I love my Dyson. Once you learn how to clean it and make the effort, it looks and works like new.” – Cheryl Green
