About
I am an Assistant Professor of Photomedia and Visual Design at the University of Tsukuba. I also contribute to the online MA Photography program at Falmouth University. My research concerns visual literacy, photomedia and time. I have spoken on these topics in a number of conferences and workshops. Currently I am writing a book about REPHOTOGRAPHY for Routledge. I also hold a PhD in photography from London College of Communication (UAL).
Many photographers work in series, commissions or projects. The images presented on these pages are actually sets. By this I mean that they have the fluidity of archives without the pressure to categorise. As such, sets of images primarily take the form of composite installations, but they can just as easily take the form of visual essays and photobooks. An overarching aim is to reflect together upon how conversations with the landscape are mediated through photography.
In my role at University of Tsukuba, I accept doctoral research students relating to fields of photomedia, visual communication, visual literacy and visual methodologies. I also welcome visiting researchers from overseas for collaborations. If you would like to discuss a research plan, please use the contact form below.
