For lack of a better word

This may sound rather silly, but I'm usually a little lost for words when people ask me to describe what type of photographs I take. Despite knowing exactly what type of photo's I enjoy taking, and them all having quite a similar style (in my opinion!)For some reason I can't find that one word, to perfectly fit. Maybe that's a good thing?  


So to those of you who don't know; I like to photograph the banal (for lack of a better word!) of the everyday, and attempt to make the simple pleasures in life beautiful. Sourcing influence from all areas of my life, whether that's being inspired by a late night conversation with a friend and drinking endless amounts of tea, or an exhibition, or a character in a book. I hope I sometimes manage to achieve images where, time seems to stand still, creating a brief pause for our hectic lives.  


So let me know, if you have any bright ideas, or more suitable words to describe my allusive narratives! But most of all I hope you enjoy them and keep on following.


Sorry about the long one.

Guest Houses in Southampton No.4

Hotel rooms, doctors surgeries, airport lounges are just a handful of spaces that we consider insignificant or unfamiliar. But an ever increasing proportion of our time is being spent in these curious spaces...




So what do you think, are they 'non-places'or 'places'?
