Photographs of Bath

Bath Abbey has stood at the heart of the city for centuries, providing a sense of permanence amid the constant movement of everyday life. This project explores the streets and spaces surrounding the Abbey, observing how people pass through this historic setting while the architecture remains unchanged. Several of the photographs use long exposures to blur the movement of people, emphasising the contrast between the enduring presence of the buildings and the fleeting nature of those who visit them. Together, these images form part of an ongoing documentary study of Bath and its evolving relationship between history, place and people.

Away from Bath's famous landmarks lies a network of streets, lanes, passages and courtyards that reveal the city's everyday character. This project explores these quieter spaces, where Georgian architecture, modern interventions and daily life come together to create an ever-changing urban landscape. Rather than seeking iconic views, I have focused on the details, patterns and atmosphere that give Bath its distinctive sense of place. Together, these photographs form part of an ongoing documentary study of the city and its evolving identity.

The Bath Riverline follows the River Avon through a changing city, linking its industrial past with contemporary redevelopment. Rather than seeking familiar postcard views, this project explores the architecture, spaces and atmosphere found along the river, where former mills and warehouses have been transformed into new homes and workplaces. The photographs examine the relationship between historic and modern buildings, revealing how Bath continues to evolve while retaining the character of its industrial heritage. Together they form part of an ongoing documentary study of the city that will contribute to a larger body of work.
