New Book - Colour

After a break of almost 5 years, I'm thrilled to announce a return to making books with a new publication entitled Colour. Edited, designed and published by Josie Atkinson and Jess Thoemmes-Tondowski at RRB Photobooks in Bristol, it is now available to pre-order in either large format 128 page softback or special edition hardback (with print) at a starting price of only £28. MORE INFO HERE

The book is an homage to pure colour on our ever greying streets. Shot in London and other cities around Britain mostly in the last couple of years, I went in search of full colour. Not just accents of colour here and there, but frames that were full, edge to edge, corner to corner, of the brightest tones I could find. Street corners, shops, cafes, libraries, museums, pubs, galleries, anything with the most luminous of shades, I hunted down.

Show here cover images of both the soft and hardback editions.

It's great to be back making books. 🙏 More details in the next couple of weeks
