My first rule of photography: knowing where to stand.

A collection of photographs exploring how viewpoint, position and perspective can turn the ordinary into something worth looking at.

After They Left — An empty wooden chair stands on a shingle beach, viewed through a circular opening in a weathered concrete sea defence. The opening frames the distant sea and wind turbines on the horizon. The composition uses the circular structure
Under the Pylon — A graphic view from beneath a transmission pylon, the steel framework forming a dense geometric pattern against the bright sky.
Stone Rose — Monochrome close-up of a rose carved in relief on a weathered stone gravestone. Oblique sunlight emphasises the contours of the petals, creating contrasting highlights and shadows that reveal the texture and depth of the carving.
Brutalist Geometry — An upward-looking view of a Brutalist concrete building against a deep blue sky. Strong vertical architectural lines intersect with a sharply defined diagonal shadow, creating a geometric composition of light, texture and form.
Under the Tree — A low-angle environmental self-portrait of a man sitting on a bench beneath a large tree in a sunlit park in Steyning. The spreading branches form a natural canopy above the seated figure, whose relaxed pose contrasts humorously with
Convergence — A low-angle view of a telegraph pole against a clear blue sky, with overhead wires radiating outwards from its summit. A white aircraft contrail aligns precisely with the centre of the pole, creating a striking convergence of lines and
Train in the Square — A red train framed within the metal grid of a footbridge at Hove Station. The slight off-centre placement draws the eye along the platform line toward the train.
Reinforcement — A close-up of exposed steel reinforcement bars during construction work on Hove seafront. Intersecting rods, bent supports and repeating grids create a dense geometric pattern, emphasised by high-contrast monochrome processing.
