Patron Funded Photography

On Patreon, I'm building an immersive and interactive experience as I travel across Great Britain in my time-travelling camper van photographing the remarkable and rich heritage of Great Britain.

I'm also creating patron powered photography where patrons will be able to fund my services to places in the historic environment.

It will give such sites access to gold standard photography and videography and enable them to invest the funds saved into urgent need projects, whilst having access to top level media for their needs.

1st Goal

Achieving 25 patrons will enable me to photograph one site in the historic environment without passing on the costs to the site.

Patrons will be able to make suggestions with the brief, provide micro-local information as to best spots to photograph, and engage in the photoshoots with me via an immersive experience. They will also get to see a selection of the final professional photographs.

Can you help me achieve my goal?

Meet The Photographer

I've been an architectural photographer for over 20 years. I came to photography after a breakdown in my 30's.

I work largely within the historic environment and I've spent several years studying the history of architecture and historic building conservation to further inform my photography.

My post-grad thesis: 'Genius Loci in Architecture' is an attempt to understand why some places enhance the quality of our lives. I seek such places out with my lens whilst travelling throughout the Great Britain in my camper van and I always have Ventura's words at the back of my mind as I do so:

What each of us must do is cleave to what we find most beautiful in our human heritage - and pass it on……And to pass these precious fragments on is our mission.
