"Water Taxies, Vịnh Hạ Long, Vietnam, 2012. Vietnam is one of my favourite places to travel and right now top of my list to visit again once it’s safe to do so. Back when Cát Bà Island had a large floating village, these woman would wait by the shore to take residents back and forth between the island and their homes. This was shot handled Weegee -style, with my Linhof Super Technika. Not very practical by 2020 standards but fun when it worked!"

"The raw immediacy and lived experience of taking a photograph
matters as much to me as how I compose the frame. It is my private
personal connection to these places and the emotional or intellectual
intrigue that grips me through the process that I hope resonates in the
print. I seek to capture the mood and promise, silence and solitude in
that extended moment of awareness. In my earlier architectural
practice and now my photography career, I'm fascinated by the
opportunity to invest symbols and narrative into built form or see the
metaphor in a material space. I have an abiding interest in thresholds
and liminal spaces - places that seem somehow a bridge between the
concrete and the ephemeral, elevated above time, hallowed. The
sublime resides even in an ordinary space. And while the wondrous
capabilities of the digital process permits an extraordinary level of
clarity, detail and sensuality to be ingrained into an image, I like to
think that there is a mystery at the heart of all my photographs, an
appeal for the viewer to keep looking and see more."
