Photography Books
and
Commissioned Work
I undertake architectural and landscape commissions and specialise in the creation of SOUVENIR PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTFOLIOS of your HOME or other PROPERTY similar to the examples shown below.
These can be made into high quality hardback ‘coffee table’ books in any quantity you require from one upwards. They can be presented without explanatory words or with full descriptions of the images as agreed with yourself.
A delightful, personalised keepsake, just for you, or to be shared with friends and loved ones.

Each project is undertaken only when I have a full understanding of your preferences as to the specific subjects and views to be taken. The final choices of images to be used will then be agreed with you beforehand.
Any images can also be selected for enlargement for framing and hanging.
To discuss ideas WITH NO OBLIGATION please get in touch via the details on the CONTACT page.
IMPORTANT NOTE. Any commissioned images I create are for your private use and will not be shown on my website or social media feeds unless you specifically ask me to do so.
NOTES ON THE OFFBEAT
This book has been compiled using a selection of some of the more remote and unusual sights recorded over recent years whilst wandering around the middle of nowhere – and other places – with my cameras.
For the first time I have added a number of spontaneous ‘poems’ inspired by the images.
I have published it in a high quality edition hardback book which is available to purchase now.

THE ANCIENT WATER MEADOWS OF THE RIVER NADDER
This book has now been published as a hardback book. I have now ordered 2 separate print runs, both of which have completely sold out.
I was initially invited to take photographs of the largely now derelict workings by John Stoddart, the Warden Of the Barford & Burcombe Fishing Club and who is responsible for the control of the hatches on the river. The photographs were intended to form an historical record but the project evolved into the book which includes some excellent and informative descriptive texts from John.
ASKRIGG HOUSE
This example shows a unique house that was built entirely from scratch about 15 years ago by the owner for his family’s own occupation. The detached property is set in the grounds of a Grade 11 Listed Building in a West Cliff conservation area in the centre of Bournemouth.
The exterior was constructed in meticulous detail to emulate its Victorian surroundings whilst maintaining a stylish and spacious contemporary interior.
A magnificent result, I hope you agree.
THE GREAT DORSET STEAM FAIR
No Plan – No Agenda. Just a day spent wandering with the camera, capturing whatever caught my eye……
PHILIPPS HOUSE
This example has been compiled using a series of photographs I have taken over a number of years of the beautiful Philipps House and grounds in the village of Dinton, Wiltshire.
The property is owned by the National Trust and the parklands are open to the public which enabled me to have access for these shots.
I have included it to afford an idea of how a large country house set in its own grounds could be presented. Interior shots could also be included in the book or presented separately in an additional book if preferred.
ST MARTIN’S CHURCH
I was commissioned by the Wiltshire Life Magazine to produce images to accompany their article on the removal and refurbishment of the ancient bells at St. Martin’s Church in Barford St Martin.
In order to demonstrate the flexibility of what can be produced for you, or perhaps your company/organisation, I have made this booklet to show some of the images taken and the final pages as appeared in the magazine.
