Ian is an engineer, researcher, and photographer. Or maybe photographer, researcher, engineer. The order depends on the day.
I spend my time analysing buildings that have stood for centuries while designing new ones that might, researching why fires behave unpredictably, and looking for the perfect frame, whether it's between a branch and a building or within the multiple visual narratives a single moment can hold. I'm based in London but can often be found wherever there's a story worth pausing for: The Shard rising between two centuries-old facades, framing past and future in a single glance, or a deer reaching skyward through autumn branches, asking questions I'm still learning to answer.
I tend to exist at the intersection of precision and uncertainty, where steel calculations meet soft light, where heritage meets innovation. It's the space where engineering creates room for human stories, where fire research asks philosophical questions, where a camera lens becomes a way of asking why this moment matters. This site is where I explore those questions: Experience, Photography, and the occasional thought demanding to be heard.
