What inspired you to start publishing books?
I was inspired by the vast range of photobooks in Arles, and by specific books in particular. Some of my favourite photobooks are 'Beijing, Theatre of the People' by Ambroise Tézenas, 'Seeking Moksha' by Nishant Shukla and 'I Belong Jarrow' by Chris Harrison.
What draws you to the photobook as a format?
I like the opportunity to make a book design and image sequence that relates to the story. I also enjoy integrating other visual material like maps, archive materials and graphic designs .
How has your practice changed over time?
My practice often centres around landscape and history. With my ongoing 'Lost Treasures' project, it has expanded to encompass family history and personal possessions.
What's a book you've been involved with that surprised you — either in how it came together or how it landed?
For my MA in Documentary Photography, I made a one-off book for my 'Decoy' series. It combined night images of former Second World War bombing decoy sites, with maps from the National Archives.
What's next for you?
I am working on a book for the second part of my Paris Meridian series. The route starts south of Paris and ends at the Paris Observatory. I am also making images and conducting research for my 'Lost Treasures' project.
