The 'Brook

Author & Photographer

A lockdown project that became something more. Over Covid, I'd rediscovered my film cameras and a new scanner, and started sharing old slides with friends from the Conningbrook days. The response surprised me — enough that a personal project became a proper book.

The 'Brook is a documentary photo collection from Conningbrook, one of the UK's most storied open-access carp fisheries. 100+ pages of images shot on film — mainly Fuji Provia 100f — from 1992 to 2004. This isn't a guide or tips book. It's a moment in time: b-roll, British records, quiet mornings, and the people who were there.

Conningbrook has been written about by Lee Jackson, Oz Holness, Terry Hearn, Dave Lane and others — it deserved its legendary status. This is my contribution: a visual memoir for those who fished it, and a window for those who didn't. A5 format, 400gsm laminated cover, full colour, printed in England.

A memento of times with friends — some still here, some who've moved on. Limited stock remaining via Monkey Climber in Belgium.
