Here are a four images from a larger group of my macro work, recently shown in the exhibition Plant Deltas and Plant Macros, at the Brentwood Road Gallery, Romford, alongside work by Karl Blossfeldt, Nigel Henderson and Parisian artist Evelyne Coutas.
These photographs were created in August 2013, at Monet’s Garden, Giverny, France (iPhone 4S, Olloclip macro lens.)

Two images from my series In A Country Churchyard, featuring the beautiful church of Painswick St Mary’s, Gloucestershire, have been published in the Fall/Winter edition of European Photography: an independent Arts magazine for contemporary and new media, published in Germany. This latest edition (number 94) explores the current trend for Retro-Photography, which editor Andreas Muller-Pohle describes as creative remembering:
The revival of past forms in the light of the present, the re-interpretation of the old – this is what differentiates retro from nostalgia and regression. Retro is thus a form of recycling, as well as a cultural strategy, which, in the context of contemporary waste culture, is indispensible.
