CURRENT PROJECTS

2025 will see me travelling back to the USA, this time to 'The Tarheel State' of North Carolina in the early part of the year. This is a region that I have grown to know well through personal connections and somewhere that I feel is time to spend some time on my photographic journey, and get to know it on a more personal level.

​

As I write this heading into the Autumn months of 2024 this beautiful state has been ravaged by a hurricane causing unfathomable damage to certain area's, many area's that were on my North Carolina Adventure Plans, it has been incredibly hard on the residents of those area's hit hard by this natural weather phenomenon, so although the trip to this region will still take place, it will not only be a document of the outstanding beauty of this part of America, but also a look at the changes that have taken place, and hope to capture the rebuilding and resilience of it's people, a story that should be told and documented.

 

The people of North Carolina are not strangers to changing times and hardship, with the decline and eventual disappearance of the cotton industry, with all the associated mills & jobs, furthermore the effect's of the declining worldwide coal industry can been felt here in the heartland, now with a current shift towards the tech industry in the larger cities of the state things are changing again.

 

Much as a place is reliant on it's people and their welcoming nature, an integral part in fact, much of North Carolina's appeal rests on it beauty and the sheer diversity of said landscapes, from the coastal regions of the stunning 'Outer Banks' an archipelago that stretches alone the entire state coast, with the inner reaches of graced with the stunning Appalachian Mountains that carve their way through the western part of the state, this western region will be the focus of this upcoming adventure.

 

There is still much to plan, but I hope that you are going to join me on this journey as it unfolds, with much to share, it never gets tiring exploring the beauty of this rock on which we reside, and I am sure North Carolina won't let us down.
