Photography

Photo essays are how I make sense of a place. These are the ones worth your time — a day inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone, 36 hours on the big-wave coast at Nazaré, and the London I walk when I’m home. Each essay is presented as it was shot, and the older ones keep their original dates.

Nazaré, Portugal — 47 frames + film

Nazaré

A tiny seaside town that happens to have the biggest rideable waves on earth. Petticoats at one end, surf pilgrims at the other, and 36 hours to photograph both.
