The Contact Sheet – A NewsLETTER
The Contact Sheet is a regular publication of essays on the philosophy and practice of street photography. Regular extras include some new photographs, the latest photography news, and advice to improve your photography out there on the street.

ABOUT ME
I’m a shy though loquacious, youthfully middle-aged, Scottish Varsovian street photographer. I teach photography, most recently at Akademickie Liceum Ogólnokształcące (PJATK) in Warsaw. I photograph for SOPA Images, and occasionally write for Shoot It With Film.
Described by the British Academy of Photography as a prodigious talent, and by critics as a surrealist at heart with an eye for irony and amusing little moments, I spend my days walking the streets looking for the unexpected, as well as the unconventional and the contradictory.
Among other places, I have shown exhibitions at the National Scottish Football Museum, and the Edinburgh International Arts Festival, both in Scotland – and also in Warsaw, Poland.
My work has been published by Vanity Fair, Vogue, Time France, the New York Times, the Guardian, the Times of London, Der Tagesspiegel, Le Figaro, as well as on the BBC, CNN, NBC, Al Jazeera, Novara Media, OKOPress, among many others.
I am an alumnus of the Magnum Professional Practices series and have also completed masterclasses with Magnum photographers Richard Kalvar and Bruce Gilden, in Paris and London respectively.
