I am currently Course Director for the BA(Hons) Photography and Imaging at LSBU, having joined the University in 2015 as Senior Lecturer in Photography. I have taught photography and media in further and higher education since 1993, while maintaining an artistic and research practice. I publish regularly on the intersection between critical spatial studies and networked culture. My teaching is research informed and student centred and is based on bridging theory and practice with interactive workshops making use of city space, media innovations and industry links.
My published writings and conference presentations combine my interests in the networked image with the fields of critical spatial practice and literary studies, which have both been key interests since my early career. This has recently led me to explore networked images of educational spaces, and the CGI representations of 'learning.'
My writings on the politics of the networked architectural image have been published in the journals Philosophy of Photography, the Journal of Media Practice, E-Tropic and Leonardo Electronic Almanac as well as the book On the Verge of Photography, Imaging beyond representation (Intellect Books, 2013.) A chapter critiquing the self-image of the of the modern financialised university through its CGI visualisations was published in June 2022 in the book Co-Curating the Future: Universities and urban heritage past and future.
I am also an exhibited artist, and as part of a team comprising games designer Tabea Iseli and artist Alan Warburton, won the Post-Photography Prototyping Prize 2018, organised by Fotomuseum Winterthur (Switzerland) in collaboration with the Photographers’ Gallery, London and the Julius Baer Foundation. My artistic practice explores the performative aspects of imaging and its materiality.
