My art is about the stories within landscapes and the idea of place.

Using the cyanotype process, I aim to bridge the gap between photography and art, giving my cyanotypes a painterly effect, while remaining dependent on sunlight and the elements for exposure.

A piece can take anything from ten minutes to all day depending on the strength of the sunlight. In this way, each piece is completely connected to the environment and weather conditions it is made in.

Once exposed, I often tone my images in natural toning baths such as tea or coffee to achieve different color effects. Cyanotyping suits my aims because, being so process driven, a narrative is created during the image’s own production.
