The Visual For Business Catalogue 2009/2010
This afternoon I visited the Arts & Business office in Manchester to deliver my work for the forthcoming Visual For Business group art exhibition at Salford Business School. The exhibition is being installed tomorrow and will run for six weeks until June. A selection panel consisting of over twenty members of staff at Salford university looked through over 200 pieces of artwork to consider for this exhibition. I have three framed photographs featured in the exhibition (‘Aloha From Blackpool’, ‘Starlings Above South Pier’ and ‘The Wave’) and I think they represent a nice selection of photographs from my personal and commissioned portfolio.
Parque de la Casa de Campo

One of my favourite places to take photographs in Madrid was in the vast landscape of the city’s largest urban park Casa de Campo. The park was originally a royal hunting estate and covers more than 1,700 hectares. According to Wikipedia, in 1936–39, during the Spanish Civil War, the front lines of the Siege of Madrid ran through the Casa de Campo when the Republicans had halted a nationalist offensive in November 1936.
ARTISLA: Connect With The World Of Art

While I was in Madrid last month I received an email asking if I’d be interested in becoming a new artist with an up and coming artists platform called ARTISLA. The website features a selection of interdisciplinary artists from around the world and provides an international platform for young artists to show and sell their artworks (at no cost). It also provides art lovers with a place to find and buy the highest quality artwork from emerging artists at affordable prices as well as give them the chance to discover new artists, understand, meet, and discuss with them.
Madrid Metro Stations
In the early hours of Saturday morning I arrived back in the UK after six wonderful days exploring and photographing the Spanish capital of Madrid. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing a selection of documentary photographs that I took while encountering life on the city streets and wandering in Madrid’s largest urban park Casa de Campo.
