Ian’s work is difficult to define – from documentary photography in and around the English south coast, portraiture, cinematic staged scenes to simple observations of the every day – the one thing that binds his work is the specific use of color and light. He prefers to leave the narrative to the viewer and is never too keen to give up too much information about his images – talking about the image too much defeats the purpose, its intended merely to be consumed as it stands – liked, loved or loathed is what’s important – not the why’s, where’s and how’s. Ian feels there should be an innate response to photography, with words augmenting the meaning, not driving it. Ian works exclusively with film – both 35mm and medium format.
