I am a UK based photographer exploring a range of subjects related to the psychological sense of self. I have documented places that have undergone collective trauma, focussing on Eastern Europe to consider my own personal history and explore how certain locations hold a sense of collective loss related to the Jewish narrative of loss. For this project I travelled extensively to Poland and Ukraine - seeking remnants of these once vibrant communities in the form of still extant synagogues, often derelict or repurposed; by looking for the physical objects stored in museums or sold as tourist trinkets, and by meeting the various custodians of memory: the historians, conservationists, archivists, forensic archeologists, tour guides, artists and academics.

I am currently exploring nostalgia, linked to Ostalgie: the fascination with the former GDR. This project documents and interrogates this nostalgia for a system of surveillance that was a balance of fear, the price paid during the Cold War for rival paradigms of thought. 

I have exhibited within the UK and internationally, been featured in a wide range of photographic magazines, given interviews and public talks about my work and been a selected artist for the Portrait of Britain 2020. 

I have recently published my first book: In Search of Amnesia, published by Kehrer Verlag Publishers, Heidelberg, Germany.

I also am a member of MAP6 Photography Collective, a group of UK based photographers exploring people and places. The group has travelled as far afield as Russia, Lithuania, Finland and the Shetland Islands creating group projects, resulting in exhibitions, talks and publications.
