Steam and heritage railways have been a part of my life since I was a young boy. From my first trips on the rails with my father to see Rev. W Awdry’s Thomas the Tank Engine, to the moment I proposed to my fiancée on the crowded Paignton to Kingswear line. I have always had a love for steam and heritage railways. Yet I have not always been able to translate this love into a tangible explanation. Fortunately, my photographic skills have developed over time, and this has allowed me to translate my emotions into some kind of comprehendible body of work. My fascination derives from a place of nostalgia. The railways enable me to experience a world that has been left behind. I love visiting heritage railways with my wife and sharing short adventures on the rails through the British countryside.
