This website is largely devoted to two projects, both involving historical buildings in China. The first, and most significant, is to photograph the remaining foreign-inspired buildings, of which there are many, in China's former treaty ports and leased territories. Although I have yet to cover several buildings in Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao and Hankou, this project is now approaching completion.

The second is to record Hong Kong's 103 Declared Monuments. Currently there is only one gallery of images thereon but there will be more as my coverage increases.

There is also a gallery dedicated to my limited landscape work and, for the ultimate landscape, one of panorama images. Finally, there is a small collection of people I have met on my travels.

Please contact me should you wish to use any of these images. I am available for commissioned work but do not seek payment for non-commercial purposes and am keen to support heritage projects, historical publications and anything involving education.

Recent updates: New Collection for British Consular buildings; new images in the CMCS Collection (April 2013). The Declared Monuments gallery has been refreshed (May 2013).

“Master photographers are very, very passionate. It's simply not an option to be anything but passionate if you want to succeed. If the photographer ends up short on passion, the image will end up short of the mark.”
