History Pages
These pages share my pictures of recent historical re-enactments with participants. Only recent events are here but I can easily upload other galleries if you want to see something from previous years or look at a certain group or topic.
If you are shown, I happily send you copies of the pictures for your own use or for regimental web sites etc – ie for fair, non-commercial use. Just tick those you want and email me.
About my pictures
I’m a professional photographer and author of books on using Photoshop, Lightroom and other digital photography subjects, but this is just a personal photographic project. The Civil War was my main subject at university, where I was taught by John Morrill who had just published his Revolt of the Provinces, and I’ve continued to read academic studies of the period. But I’d never been a re-enactor and it was only in 2004 after I’d begun making a living as a photographer that I saw the Sealed Knot in action and it caught my imagination. I eventually joined the SK (Tower Hamlets) and the project is still going strong after more than 10 years.

Books
I created these two print-on-demand books for myself and to give to friends. They are not on sale to the general public, but contact me if you would like to buy a copy. They aren’t cheap but they do make nice presents.
Artists
I am happy to assist artists using my photos as reference material, but my pictures are copyright. Just don’t reproduce them as paintings or drawings and sell them as your original work – sorry to say, that has happened.
