A personal project, The VCC Cohort is an accelerator program operating inside Imperial College London, promoting science, innovation, education (as well as internationalism & multiculturalism) and each team, selected from over 170 applications are problem solving issues currently affecting our world. With this project I wanted to link science & future technologies from its burgeoning environment (education) to current-affairs via the medium of portraiture & art; - to expose the faces behind invention and to humanise them.

About author:

I place structure and simplicity at the forefront of what I do. My portraits are about engagement, interaction and the inner self. Visually, I like to place my sitters within structures: With an uncluttered approach they often become structure-like themselves. The human element is always there through subtle nuances caught on camera.

A fan of the Brutalist aesthetic, I see beauty in obscure places: In the desert- where the landscape is so empty, electricity pylons traverse the landscape like monuments to the technological age. A concrete football stadium I found in Rwanda, so basic it employs colour- a lick of paint- to soften its hard functionality. Most recently I discovered Sao Paulo. A megacity concrete jungle but with a wealth of architectural and abstract gems nesting amongst the chaos.

I'm fascinated by back-stories- how people and how things come to be: The Phantom project exemplifies a lifecycle with the rise & fall of technology. When does the future become the past?

Studied at Norwich School of Art & Design.

I was an assistant for over 4 1/2 years working with commercial photographers including; Corrine Day & Terry O'Neil as well as other contemporaries in the Noughties. Prior to that, my first photographic assignment was cruising Alaska's Inside Passage as a photographer.
