A photographic journey across the physical divides of the UK. By placing the red-brick grit of northern industrial towns alongside the wind-swept ridges of the National Parks and the dense, crowded architecture of London, I documented a country defined by its sudden transitions.

The old industrial towns of the North have a heavy, tactile history written into their streets. I enjoy spending countless hours walking along canal paths and wet cobblestones, photographing the dark red brick of former mills and the slate roofs glistening under grey skies.

That said, just a short journey from the cities, the landscape opens up into the raw, empty spaces of the National Parks.

In London, the scale changes entirely. Here, centuries of completely different architectural styles are crammed onto the same narrow footprint.

This series is about how close these wildly different worlds sit next to one another. In the UK, you can get on a train and travel from a crowded, concrete underground station to a silent, wind-swept moor in under an hour.
