I am a photographer based in Brixton, London. I make photographic greeting cards. Each image on my cards is an original photogram, made by shining light on to objects (usually plant life) placed on photographic paper. The paper stays white where the plant's shadow falls. Any area touched by light will acquire a grey or black tone. Each photogram is individually developed, without use of cameras or computers, so that each card is slightly different than another of the same name. None of my cards are mass-produced. I keep no inventory. I recreate each card individually for every order I receive.
Most of the plants I use have been gathered on walks in London and South Wales. The plants in these images come from Hackney marshes, from the banks of The Thames, from the canals of West London, from the woodlands and parks of South London and from the hills of the Brecon Beacons.
The range of images changes over time as I discover new plants, or as natural materials wither and disintegrate. Each image is available just as long as the plant lasts.
