"I truly believe the ordinary is much more interesting than people make out." - Martin Parr
I first became interested in photography in 2020, after picking up my dad's old Pentax film camera during an attic clear out. I'd retreated from London to suffer through the first Covid lockdown in sunny Devon and was in need of a distraction. I'd spent years enjoying taking the occasional photo on my phone and discovered that I had a knack for it. I got some new film stock and got to shooting.
I learnt all the fundamentals of photography on that film camera but quickly became frustrated with film's limitations. I needed a digital camera. I knew I'd want one as small as possible, so that it would be on me at all times and I knew I wanted one capable of high quality photographs. I settled on the Ricoh GRiii and never looked back.
Having a fixed 28mm lens, the Ricoh began my love/hate relationship with wide angle shots. It worked for some but was wildly inadequate for a lot of other shots I'd want to capture. This pain would later be alleviated with the purchase of my Nikon Z camera with standard 24-70mm zoom lens, but it certainly was also why I came to love wide-angle photographs. Capturing more of a scene requires an increasingly refined approach to composition and balancing the many elements in the frame. This challenge has come to define my style and I incorporate energetic, wide-angle shots in all of my street/professional work.
I currently shoot with a Nikon Z8 with Nikkor Z 24-70 2.8 S, Z 50 1.8 S, and Z 35 1.8 S lenes, using my Ricoh GRiii in tandem. I have flash units for both cameras. I do all my editing in Adobe Lightroom.
