My documentary work is about community, place, and the small details that explain how people belong to their surroundings. I am drawn to stories that unfold over time, where the photographs need to be read together rather than as isolated moments.
Histon Road is about to see changes: a new carriageway and junctions, new houses and the reduction of vegetation. A small group of local people has been capturing memories of the old days when the road had different shops and businesses, spacious allotments, orchards and a simpler way of life.

Held on Midsummer Common in the heart of Cambridge, Strawberry Fair is a modern echo of the ancient Stourbridge Common Fair. To the majority of attendees, the fair is a single Saturday in June—they show up, celebrate, and go home. But as a past committee member, I know that the narrative begins in early Autumn. My goal with this project was to document the week of labor required to transform the common and the pristine restoration that follows. This is a celebration of ‘Town’ rather than ‘Gown’—a look at the community that builds a city landmark from the ground up.

A documentary project asks for patience. Sometimes the important photograph is not the most dramatic one, but the one that connects one part of the story to another. This page gathers work where the sequence matters, and where the body of images is the story.
