Flowers

From Spring 2018 — To Spring 2024

Collection bio

This collection is dedicated to all photos in my catalogue that are related to flowers in some way. From close-up, or macro, shots of flowers, and studio scenes of floral displays, through to the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms in landscape scenes, and onto street scenes of people buying or appreciating flowers.

The collection will grow over time as I add new prints and take new photos.

Architecture

Assorted | Worldwide

This collection is dedicated to all photos in my catalogue that are related to architecture in some way. From the neo-futurism of Zaha Hadid's 'The Port House', through to Gaudí's flamboyant Catalan modernisme, and onto regular vernacular architecture, which is also known as folk architecture — meaning styles of building that are outside of any movement or style.

There are 27 prints in this collection.

Art & City Barcelona | Spain

Barcelona is one of Europe’s trendiest cities.

Bar-ce-loona as Freddie Mercury famously sang for the 1992 Olympic games — sometimes I feel like I wax lyrical about the perfect triad of location, culture and history that makes Barcelona such a great city.
