I have started to explore infrared photography and video capture on a smartphone. The native camera is unable to see true infrared so a clip on attachment is needed which bypasses the built in camera to reveal a strange new world. I have attached some recent test shots but looking forward to exploring this further over the next few weeks. It would make an interesting component of future smartphone photography talks and workshops. Watch this space.

My short film ‘14,000 metal boxes’ has been screened to UK audiences, both North and South in July. It is showing as part of The Agents of Change exhibition at The Holden Gallery, in Manchester along with 40 other finalists of The John Ruskin Prize and this week, it appeared at the Small Axe Film Festival in Dorset. It can be seen until the end of August at The Holden Gallery but if you can’t view it on the large screen you can still view it online below.
