Rivers effect and connect us all, devastatingly however in England they’re so polluted that only one is clean enough to swim in.

This is because raw sewage is spilled on a near constant basis in rivers across the country, as profits take precedence over people and our environment.

Ways and Means is a collection of portraits of those directly affected. Helping teach us to love and protect these delicate eco-systems.

I have been exploring the human condition, nature and their cross-over through my work for the last 20 years. Recognising photography’s ability to draw focus on important topics and help form opinion, I have strived to use the medium to create lasting development, restoring the balance of humans in nature.
