Cemetery photographer / Cemetery historian.

Historians don’t bury things, we dig them up!

My love of cemeteries began as a child when I visited family member’s graves with my parents. Whilst the adults chatted and arranged flowers, I would wander off and look at all the angels, doves and crosses. I was struck by their beauty and as I got older I began photographing them purely for my own enjoyment. I have since gone on to set up the Silent Cities Project, produced a series of cemetery photography books and studied grave symbolism and Mortuary Science. I am now also involved with monument restoration and preservation to help future generations enjoy an important part of our history and heritage.
