In the summer of 2010 I visited the Thames Barrier and started the photos that would later come to form this Thames Path project. Over the course of the next year I walked from the Thames Barrier in the east through to Hampton Court in the west.
At this point I was working entirely on film using a mix of 35mm and medium-format cameras including a Nikon F3, Cosina CX-1, Bronica ETRsi and an Agfa Clack.
An edited selection from this project was exhibited in the Brockley Max Arts Festival, 2011 in a joint show with Cath Dupuy.
