“If I do have any particular skill in this world it's merely as an observer, a watcher” PJ

Welcome!

fiofoto.com forms the primary source for recent projects, photo archive and print sales.

After a lifetime as a photo documentarian I’m increasingly producing images that could easily fit some other category.

Many of the images shown represent a personal portfolio, a private record. Some are opportunistic snaps, others more carefully considered photographs but either way they are an attempt to process a world view moderated through the framing of a camera as “picture posts” and occasional photo series. Probably still photo documentation!

Influences have included Larraín, Giuseppe Cavalli, Minor White and of course Robert Frank.

Once upon a time representation was through Planet Earth Pictures, London (now sadly long gone) and I have previously supplied photo images to Octopus Publishing Group, London (Fauna Britannica), Hodder & Stoughton, Marie Claire and a range of other magazines and publishers.


The photographic journey began in 1970’s South Wales, UK followed by 22 years in London working professionally in applied photo imaging. Now based in New South Wales, Australia.

The print store

Images from PJ’s archive and recent projects, are available as photo and fine gallery prints – read more.

In addition to continually making new images, a large library archive of film material is also being scanned. As this project progresses new material will be added to fiofoto.com and made available as prints or licensed images.
