A “SLOW MOMENT MICRO FILM” film shot on my iPhone 6 on the train to Liverpool. I’m never quite sure what I’m going to see or hear when I shoot the video, as it appears in real time whilst I’m recording. I’m also reliant on coincidence, of chance happenings.
A “SLOW MOMENT MICRO FILM” shot on my iPhone 6 aboard the tram to Altrincham. This was my first “slow moment” film and was made purely because I rarely sit still for long, and I was fascinated by the play of light into the train as we sped away from the city centre.
A “SLOW MOTION MICRO FILM” shot on my iPhone 6 as part of my project Not Quite Light, which sees me photographing the streets of Manchester at dawn. There is a nightmarish speed and quality to this moment.

I’ve only recently begun to experiment with shooting the moving image. I’ve worked with stills during my career. The advent of digital has changed the way all photographers work, opening new opportunities for creative work. The quality of DSLR and Smartphones has meant that making moving images simply makes sense. I’m going to be working on short films for my Not Quite Light project, and writing soundtracks for them.
